Safari World, on the northeastern edge of Bangkok, is a combined drive-through safari park and entertainment-style animal park popular with families and tour groups. The site separates a drive-through wildlife area from a pedestrian marine park with scheduled shows.

The drive-through safari lets visitors pass through enclosures containing grazing animals, while the Marine Park hosts staged presentations such as dolphin and sea lion shows plus bird exhibits and themed performances. The venue operates as a commercial amusement and animal exhibition complex rather than a conventional zoo or conservation park.

The park was developed as a large commercial attraction serving Bangkok and its suburbs and is commonly visited for day trips by residents and tourists. Exact opening date details are not provided here.

Located in Bangkok’s northeastern suburbs, the complex is accessible by road from central Bangkok and is a common stop on organized tour itineraries.

• Best time to visit: Plan to arrive early in the day to see animals at their most active and to catch scheduled feeding sessions and shows before midday heat.
• Park layout: The attraction is divided into a drive-through safari and a walk-through marine/animal park, and many visitors combine both in a single day visit.

What to See#

• Safari Park (drive-through): A drive-through safari section where visitors travel by vehicle through enclosures containing herbivores and other animals, allowing close viewing from cars or park buses.
• Marine Park and show arenas: A separate Marine Park area featuring staged animal presentations such as dolphin and sea lion shows, plus enclosures and exhibits with birds and other species.

Safari World is about 30-45 minutes by car from central Bangkok depending on traffic. There are shuttle services from some hotels and tour operators; public buses and taxis can reach it along Kanchanaphisek Road. Expect a taxi or rideshare as the simplest option from central Bangkok.

• Arrive at opening to catch the drive-through Safari Park before bus tours arrive mid-morning.
• Bring insect repellent for outdoor enclosures and the boat rides; some walk-through areas are shaded but humid.
• Check the show schedules (dolphin and sea lion shows) and time visits to see at least one major performance.
