Chainat Bird Park — Attraction in Chai Nat Province

This is my husband using my google account

DON’T GO THERE - Read this also if you’re Thai.

The Park is totally run down. Things are old, broken, faulty and faded.

There is a huge 1970’s Japanese cartoon robot, which is part of the Space Park, with water slides running down its arms and pool, but the entrance is shut. Next, there is a fake waterfall which is out of order. This is followed by a huge structure holding up an immense net, the size and height a football stadium. Only that half the net is ripped. I guess this was meant to retain some birds in a near freedom illusion. Now it’s more like a trap for wild birds hanging out there. This is followed by another highlight, a big and colourful warehouse with panels falling off and where they’re missing it’s visibly filled with garbage.

As in many places, such as national parks, foreigners pay more, here more than triple. Too bad the only signage in English is guidelines about visitor behaviour – of course the spelling and the grammar are wrong. None of the signs with information about the birds is in English. Foreigners pay more and get less.

However the bad signage quality is not limited to English. On a few trees there are signs telling visitors that there are dangerous wasps (only Thai readers are warned!), but there’s no explanation about what the actual danger consists of, where the wasps may be, and much worse, there is no explanation what visitors may or may not do in case wasps are seen (even in Thai).

While there is no specific cherry on the cake, I’d say this is an actual cherry cake. But of course there was one thing to top it all.

The one thing my 2-year old son liked the most was a sink near the fish pond where he spent a few minutes playing with the water. No he wasn’t allowed to do that! An employee promptly came and told us he had to stop.

As stated at the beginning, the park is derelict. I would compare it to Albania after the fall of communism.

I shall also tell you that it was very hard for me to use polite wording for this review. I would have much preferred to use more straight forward language but then, of course, it would have never...

Chai Nat Bird Park is a large bird sanctuary in Chai Nat Province, Thailand. It contains over 100 bird species living in simulated surroundings which match the natural habitat of the birds. Also, it has more than 60 cages of birds. The birds can be observed both in their simulated environment and in the cages. The two highlights of the park are the vast bird cage which is the largest aviary in Asia, and a freshwater fish aquarium

The park is located in Khao Tha Phra Sub-District, Mueng Chainat District, Thailand.

The Chai Nat Bird Park was built in 1983 and first covered an area of 19.76 acres. At present, the park has been developed and extended to be 98 acres. It has become a major attraction and is a source of tourism income for Chai Nat Province.

The main highlight of the park is the giant aviary that is the largest aviary in Asia. In addition, there are 63 cages of birds contain rare species such as Sarus Cranes, Green Peafowls, Eagles, Falcons, Hawks, and Ravens. Beside the birds, the park also has the Bird Egg Museum that contains many eggs from various species of birds found around the world. Aside from the aviary part, there are additional interesting sites to visit such as man-made waterfalls, wonderful gardens, a rabbit park, and a zoo. There are several wild animals present in the zoo such as Hog Deer, Elk Deer, and Mountain Goats. The other important highlight of the park is an aquarium which features several types of freshwater fish species found in Chao Phraya River. Lastly, the Space WaterPark is a zone that has a...

once upon a time there was a well-kept, interesting bird park. We were there today, the park is run down, totally dirty, neglected. in the large aviary (Asia's largest bird aviary) apart from flamingos, the usual street birds, only a lot of iguanas of all sizes but no free-flying birds such as parrots, parakeets, etc. in the small aviaries there are a few birds, but they are all frightened; I don't know that. There are plenty of staff, but I didn't see anyone working, they sat together in groups and had feasts. Unfortunately, also with a lot of plastic bottles that were then obviously disposed of in the bird park in the wild, even though there are signs everywhere "please let nature be clean". The sidewalks (paved) were all broken up and littered with leaves and branches, the stone tables that were set up were all so dirty that you couldn't use them. There is obviously no park management or they are not interested in caring for...
