Khon Kaen Zoo is one of the recent additions to the Zoological Parks Organisation (ZPO) zoos in Thailand. Like the others under their care, this zoo is of a much higher standard than the standards found elsewhere in Thailand. The zoo contained a number of other animals including bears, lions, hippos, various bird species and a wide range of ungulates. All of these appeared to have large, spacious, species-specific enclosures and no hands-on interactions between animals and the public.
