About Chiang Mai Zoo In Chiang Mai

Although one of the underrated places in Thailand, Chiang Mai Zoo offers an incredible experience for its visitors.

Chiang Mai Zoo is located at the foothills of Doi Suthep mountain, spread across a lush area of 200-acres. There’s an interesting history behind the Zoo. The Zoo was created when the son of an American missionary started helping injured animals and took care of them. As the word spread, visitors started coming to watch the animals he treated. In the year 1977, the zoo was officially open as the prime commercial zoo in northern Thailand.

Home to more than 400 animal species of the likes of penguins, koalas, seals, hippos, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, flamingos, camels, lions, tigers, Barbary sheep, Malayan tapir, and more, the Chiang Mai zoo have become one of the most frequently visited attractions by tourists from all over the world. Apart from the rare animals, some of the other attractions here are the Chiang Mai Zoo snow dome and a freshwater aquarium. Chiang Mai Zoo is quite large in itself. Once you are inside the Chiang Mai Zoo in Thailand, you cannot help but take a complete trip of the vast area while watching the animals rest peacefully or play actively in their natural surroundings.

Owing to its huge area, Chiang Mai Zoo is also a popular hiking spot among many travelers who come on a solo trip or with their friends. You can either take a leisurely walk inside the Zoo campus till the aquarium or just watch the animals from the window of your tour vehicle. Your usual tour is also a hike where you get to witness everything around and familiarize yourself with the exhibits on display.

The Cage Area, just beside the entrance, is a quaintly beautiful zone where small animals are protected inside old-school zoo cages. There runs a stretch of flowers around the cages which enhances the area profoundly. In the Open Zoo, you will find a number of species roaming around freely. There are also two spots for picnics - The Breeding Area and Recreational Areas - near the lake at the back of the zoo.

Sai's 5 days trip to Chiang Mai

We were connected to Navigatio ASIA through Travel Triangle, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip planning experience. Our coordinator, Ms. Parul, was incredibly helpful—she understood our preferences and crafted a perfect itinerary that exceeded expectations. From private pool villas and beach stays to comfortable private cabs, everything was arranged beautifully and well within our budget. Among all the travel agencies we explored, Navigatio ASIA offered the best pricing without compromising on quality. A big thank you to the entire team! We’ll definitely reach out to you again for our future adventures.

Dr's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

My Holiday Trip Review I had a wonderful time on my recent holiday trip. The overall experience was enjoyable and memorable — from the scenic locations to the well-planned itinerary and friendly people I met along the way. Every place we visited had something unique to offer, and I truly appreciated the time spent exploring and relaxing. The only downside was the hotel accommodation, which was not up to the mark. The facilities and service did not meet expectations and could definitely use some improvement. Despite this, it didn’t overshadow the overall trip, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Looking forward to my next adventure! Had a wonderful time with my family.

Ashish's 7 days trip to Chiang Mai

Our June vacation to Phuket was thought, planned and executed in less than a week and Navigatio team played a vital role in formalising it. I have been to other international destinations for family vacation and have always planned and booked itineraries on my own but this was the first time I relied on a travel agency. I must say that I was extremely satisfied with the good support and flawless execution, with well coordinated day trips, transportations, providing me-time, safety, adventure and fun without any stress. Their local app was icing on-the-cake, which had live chat support, and not to forget that Mr Tarun, Ms Parul alongwith Ms Nikita were always available for support. Our out-of-itinerary requests too were well factored in and improvised to our satisfaction. Thank you Navigatio team for making this a wonderful, flawless and most importantly fun family trip without any stress!! Cheers to the good work … Phi-phi, James Bond islands and city tour with good time spacing

Rajagopalan's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

Wonderful Thailand Trip! My parents had an amazing week in Bangkok and Pattaya, all thanks to our travel agent Navigatio’s excellent planning! Everything—from hotel bookings and transfers to sightseeing and local tips—was perfectly arranged. The itinerary was well-balanced, and we especially enjoyed the Coral Island tour and temple visits. The service was smooth, responsive, and stress-free throughout. Special mention to Sunny Singh ( Thailand ) , Tarun and Srinikita for the coordination and regular check . Highly recommended for anyone planning a Thailand getaway!

Varshikaagarwal's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

Our overall trip was just fabulous. The only area of improvement was the resort in Phuket. The outer area of the reception till the pool was very Stinky n dirty. The breakfast menu was the same for all four days. No other flaw was there in the entire trip.. Thanks. The pakasai resort at krabi and the fantasea show
