Why go, and how to do it well

The point here is contact. You feed camels and alpacas straight from your hand, pet them, stand close, and that's what people come away talking about rather than any exhibit. Despite the name there's a broad mix of animals on site, so it reads as part small zoo, part petting park, which makes it an easy win with kids who've had enough beach.

Entry is cheap, though reviews quote different figures depending on what's included, and every feeding activity costs extra on top via coupons. Camel and horse rides are the pricier add-ons. Basic feed is reasonable. Some of the equipment is showing its age and there's no park map handed out, so expect to wander a bit. Weekdays are quiet, which suits the place. It's all outdoors, so a hat and sunscreen aren't optional, and heavy rain can shut down the rides.

Absolutely spectacular! Camel Republic is one of those rare places where you don’t just look at the animals — you actually connect with them. Feeding camels, alpacas, and other animals straight from your hand, gently petting them and feeling that instant bond is pure magic. The entire park is beautifully kept, the animals look healthy and happy, and the experience is both relaxing and unforgettable. It’s not just a visit — it’s a genuine moment of joy and harmony with nature. A must‑do in Hua Hin, especially if you want memories that stay with you long after the trip. Five stars without a doubt!

Very good zoo at cha am. The Google map score is quite low so I had low expectations about here. Here ticket is only 80 baht. And inside have so many kind of animals. All the feeding needs to pay extra fee or buying coupons. Some are expensive if you want to ride horse or camel. Normal feeding price is acceptable. The equipment is old and little bit. Would say here it’s worth to come on the way to Hua Hin. And here is not crowded so won’t feel uncomfortable. It will be better they provide a map because here is quite big so may miss some zone.

When you visit Hua Hin Beach, you'll have the opportunity to explore the Camel. It's quite exciting because you can touch, visit, and even take pictures with them. The entrance fee is 190 baht per person for just visiting. If you're interested in activities, the prices vary. One nice feature is the prayer room located near the coffee shop, making your visit comfortable.
