Safari World

4.4(47,746 reviews)

Located in the Khlong Sam Wa district on the eastern outskirts of Bangkok, Safari World is a large-scale outdoor attraction combining an open-zoo safari experience with a marine park, live shows, and animal encounters. The park draws families and wildlife enthusiasts alike, offering a full day's worth of activity across two distinct zones that cover an impressive range of species and entertainment formats. The safari drive is consistently highlighted by visitors as a standout experience, allowing guests to travel through open enclosures and observe animals at close range from the comfort of a vehicle. Beyond the drive, the park stages multiple live shows throughout the day — stunt performances, animal presentations, and marine displays — which visitors describe as high-energy and well-produced. Younger travellers in particular tend to find the atmosphere engaging from arrival through to closing. On a practical note, the park is open daily from 09:00, with slightly extended hours on weekends until 17:30 compared to the 17:00 weekday closing time. Arriving early is advisable to make the most of the shows, which run on a set schedule throughout the day. The park has ample on-site parking, making it accessible for those travelling by private vehicle or rental car. Given the outdoor nature of the attraction and Bangkok's heat and humidity, lightweight clothing, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended. Visit the official website at safariworld.com for current ticket pricing and show timetables before heading out.

Visitor Reviews

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

Our visit to Safari World Thailand with my family was truly a memorable experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt excited and welcomed. The safari drive was the highlight of our trip, as we were able to see animals like giraffes, zebras, and lions up close, which was especially enjoyable for the kids. The animal shows were fun, entertaining, and perfect for the whole family. The place was well organized, clean, and safe, making it easy to relax and enjoy the day together. It was a wonderful bonding experience for our family, and we left with happy memories that we will always cherish. Highly recommended for families visiting Thailand.

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.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
