Chiang Mai Night Safari

Chiang Mai Night Safari is located in the sub-district of Mae Hia in Chiang Mai, and the district Nong Khwai, and the district Hang Dong in Thailand. It is a zoo that is located to the west of Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2006. Chiang Mai Night Safari is a government property under the Zoological Park Organization. The park was opened for the first time on 18 November 2005 and opened officially on the 6 February 2006. Initially, it was under Designated Areas for Sustainable Tourism Administration and the Pinganakorn Development Agency (Public Organization). Chiang Mai Night Safari is believed to be the first nocturnal zoo in Thailand and is the largest in the world, covering an area of 819 Rai or approximately 327 acres. Presently Chiang Mai Night Safari has changed its opening hours allowing entry for visitors during both the day and night hours. In some areas, relatively non-dangerous animals roam freely, thereby giving the visitors a closer look at the animals. From the entry gate up to the main building, there are free-roaming deer and muntjac; they are also seen around the north and south tour zones.
