Overview
7.4
Sukhothai Zoo is located in central Thailand. It's owned and operated by Bangkok Airways. This small zoo has a varied collection of animals. However, it's only open on the weekends and appears to have minimal visitors. Nevertheless, the zoo as a whole is well-kept with large, species-appropriate enclosures for the most part.
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.
