Why go, and how to do it well
Safari World is two parks on Bangkok's eastern edge at Khlong Sam Wa, open since 1988. The Safari Park is a drive-through open zoo where giraffes, zebras and lions come close to the bus or car, and the Marine Park is the walking half, with the stunt and animal shows that most people rate above everything else on site. Together they're a full day, and the shows run to a set timetable, so arrive at opening to fit them all in.
By its own ticket site the park opens Tuesday to Friday from 09:00 to 16:00 and on Saturday and Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00, with no Monday opening. There's no train out here, so come by Grab, taxi or a tour transfer, and check ticket prices on the official site before you go, because resellers bundle tickets with lunch and transfers at very different prices.
It's a family place, first and last, and if you're traveling without kids I'd think twice about the trek out. The shows include trained orangutans, elephants, dolphins and sea lions, and the paid photo sessions with tigers and orangutans are steep, so decide in advance whether those are for you. The buffet comes in for a fair bit of criticism in the reviews, so eat elsewhere in the park or save your appetite for dinner back in town.

Reviews from Google
Best for family one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Thailand. From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable, and the entire experience far exceeded our already high expectations. This isn't just an attraction; it's a full-day immersion into the wonders of the animal kingdom, brilliantly split into two distinct and thrilling sections. We began our adventure with the iconic Safari Park drive-through. It felt surreal to be driving through expansive landscapes with majestic giraffes gracefully wandering past our windows, herds of zebras and antelope grazing peacefully, and powerful lions lounging just a few meters away. It was like being transported directly to the heart of an African savanna, all while being in Bangkok. The animals appeared healthy, active, and well-cared-for in their spacious enclosures. After the drive, we entered the Marine Park, which is a vibrant hub of activity. The shows here are nothing short of spectacular. The Dolphin Show was a beautiful display of agility and intelligence, while the Spy War stunt show had our entire group on the edge of our seats with its high-octane action and incredible special effects
overall had a good experience. The park is well organized and you get to see a variety of animals, especially in the safari drive and the shows, which were quite entertaining. One thing to keep in mind is that the photo sessions with animals inside the park are quite expensive. If you are specifically looking for animal photos, you might find better and more affordable options in Pattaya. That said, the park itself is enjoyable and worth visiting, especially if you are traveling with family or kids. Overall, a fun outing in Bangkok with good shows and a nice safari experience.
Safari World is an absolute blast! The shows are fantastic—high-energy, well-produced, and genuinely impressive. They are definitely the highlight of the park and worth the visit alone. However, I would recommend skipping the Indian restaurants inside the park. The food didn't really live up to expectations, and the chaos inside the buffet is too much. Better to go in other restaurants and grab a chilled beer or plan for a nice dinner back in the city instead.
