Trakarn Tiger Zoo

Overview

4.4

Trakarn Tiger Zoo sometimes called Ubon Zoo, is often mistaken for Ubon Ratchathani Zoo (also named Ubon Zoo) though it is located some 60 km outside of Ubon Ratchathani town. The facility itself was rather small and continued mostly tigers and leopards. There were a number of other animals around including some birds, ostriches, cows, and ponies.

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.
