Two parks, not one

and that's what determines which package to take

Safari World is One complex divided into two separate parts, and most of the confusion around the tickets comes from the fact that not everyone knows this before they book.

Safari Park It's the open area. You pass through it by vehicle, by the park's bus, or by private car, along a route of several kilometers, with animals roaming freely around. There are lions, tigers, zebras, giraffes, rhinos, ostriches, and deer there. You cannot get out of the vehicle at any stage.

Marine Park It's the part you walk through. That's where all the shows are, dolphins, sea lions, elephants, birds, and orangutans, along with animal enclosures, a bird garden, and areas for children.

Therefore The choice between the packages is essentially a choice between two types of days: The safari is about an hour of driving and observation, and Marine Park is a full day of walking and shows.

Those who have a full day, Package C gives you both and is the best value. Those who have half a day with children, Marine Park alone is usually enough.

the shows, and what's worth planning around them

The schedule is what organizes the day

The dolphin show It's the largest and most sought-after, and its hall fills up. It's advisable to arrive about a quarter of an hour early, especially on weekends and holidays.

The sea lion show Light and funny, and it's usually loved by children even more than the dolphins.

The elephant show takes place in an open arena, and The bird show Features macaws, cockatoos, and birds of prey flying freely over the crowd.

There is also The orangutan show and cowboy and James Bond shows, entertainment shows with stunts that aren't related to animals.

The show schedule is displayed at the entrance, and it changes. Take it with you or photograph it, and plan your day around it, the distances inside the park are large, and moving between arenas takes time.

On most days you can catch all the main shows in one day, If you arrive in the morning.

How to get there and how much time to allocate

The park is far from central Bangkok

Safari World is located in Minburi, in northeast Bangkok, and the drive there from the city center takes 45 minutes to an hour and a half Depends on traffic.

There's no nearby light rail station. You get there by taxi, rental car, or organized transfer, and we can arrange transportation for you separately from the ticket.

Allocate a full day If you took a package with both parks. The complex is large, the shows are spread out, and walking between the arenas is part of the time.

for the Marine Park only package Half a day is enough, but it's best that it be the half of the day when the shows take place.

The park is open every day. In the morning hours there's less crowding and the animals in the safari are more active, In the afternoon the heat makes them drowsy and they lie in the shade.

Who this suits

And for whom less so

This is very suitable for families with children. This is probably the best day in Bangkok for children aged 4 to 12; it has enough shows and variety to fill a whole day.

Also suitable for those who want to see large animals up close without leaving Bangkok for a longer day trip.

Less suitable For those looking for a nature reserve. This is an animal and show park, and the animals here are in captivity; those who are bothered by that would prefer a rehabilitation elephant farm or a day in nature.

Less suitable Even for those who have only one day in Bangkok. The drive is long, and the whole day gets consumed.

and those looking for animals without the trip, The Old City and other sites in the center are much more accessible.

What to bring and what to know in advance

A long day outdoors

Most of the day passes Outdoors and in the sun, a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle are the basics. Comfortable shoes for a long walk are just as important.

During the rainy season it's advisable A thin raincoat: The shows take place even in the rain in most cases, and the arenas are partly covered and partly not.

Photography is allowed throughout the park. In the dolphin show there are seats that get splashed with water; if you have sensitive equipment, sit higher up.

There are food stalls and restaurants inside. Those who took a package without a meal can eat there for a separate fee.

Inside the park there is Activities at an extra cost, giraffe feeding, photos with animals, and the safari river cruise. They are not included in any package, and payment for them is on site.
