Why go, and how to do it well

Perched on the roof of the Pata department store in Bang Phlat, this zoo occupies one of Bangkok's more unusual settings, reached via a glass elevator that passes through the largely vacant lower floors of the building — an experience visitors frequently describe as surreal. The facility houses a range of animals alongside reptile and snake shows, split between open rooftop areas and air-conditioned indoor sections, with a full visit typically taking around two hours. It is primarily aimed at families with children looking for an accessible half-day activity in central Bangkok.

Prospective visitors should approach this attraction with clear expectations. Animal welfare concerns are a recurring theme in visitor feedback, with repeated observations about the living conditions of larger animals, particularly primates. These concerns are longstanding and substantive, and travelers with strong views on captive animal welfare standards are advised to weigh them carefully before visiting. Entry is priced at 300 baht per person.

Pata it's actually an old department store and there are news that the owner is going to renovate the building itself so at the moment the ground floor is available only and also the Pata zoo that's still opening. I think it's really hard for me to make a decision to rate this one, the zoo itself would probably open for more than 30 years and I believe most of the Bangkokian must have visit this place at least once a lifetime. Even though the popularity of the zoo is decreasing and the decoration is becoming old-fashioned and also needed maintenance. However I can see those animals been treated fairly and in a good shape that evidently those animals I still alive and well. For me I think that shows care and good intention from the owner on this zoo, and worth coming for a visit. Entry cost: Adult THB 120 / Children THB 80 Tips: - Weekends and holidays are best to visit - parking around the building best, there are also parking lot in the building available. - Use the lift from ground floor to seventh floor - There are exotic animal show, please check with the gatekeeper for the schedule

Pata Zoo is getting better . easy going trip in the middle of Bangkok. 1 hour on rooftop + 1 hour in air conditioning zoo, reptile & snake show. good for kids

Over the years visitors have gotten better conditions. Much better. Not the animals. In any way. Still a center of mental torture and boredom besides the animals visible physical defects and injuries. Instagram spot, new toilet facilities and even a shop selling PATA ZOO mercs like t-shirts and stuff. But still 0 information about any animal in English. So target group is locals only I assume... Bua Noi (male 38 year old gorilla) still borring himself to death being the Pata Zoo cash cow. So sad. However now there are: 0 big cats 0 smaller cats (previous at reptile dept) 0 bears 0 chimpanzees 0 crocs 0 flamingos
