Open Zoo & Safari Park

Overview
 

2

Despite being just down the road in Kanchanaburi from the Tiger Temple, the Safari Park has managed to remain relatively unknown to the International community. This is somewhat surprising seeing as it adopts many of the same practices as the Temple, and also many far worse. There are a range of animals there including lions, leopards, tigers, giraffes and zebras with varying levels of welfare throughout the park.

Interactions

Tiger-tourist interactions often involve unnatural behaviors and environments that can lead to welfare issues. If you're looking for ethical and welfare-friendly tiger experiences, avoid places offering interactions.
