Chiang Mai Night Safari
เชียงใหม่ไนท์ซาฟารี
A nighttime wildlife park at the foot of Doi Suthep, where you can ride a park tram to see nocturnal animals up close, feed giraffes, and enjoy a light-and-music fountain show.
Chiang Mai Night Safari opened in 2006 and covers about 130 hectares. It is divided into the Savanna Safari for herbivores and the Predator Prowl for big cats. Visitors ride open-air park trams to see giraffes, zebras, rhinos, white tigers, lions and more up close at night, with staff providing commentary along the route (sessions in Thai and English). A walking trail, the Jaguar Trail, circles Swan Lake. The park features a Tiger Kingdom show, animal performances, and a light-and-music fountain show in the evening. Admission for foreigners is about 800 baht, including the tram. The park is open roughly 11 a.m.–10 p.m., and the night sessions after 6 p.m. are the best time to visit. It's about 20 minutes' drive from the Old City and suits families. Bring insect repellent and a jacket.
