Phuket Bird Park — Attraction in Chalong

Here’s a polished review for Phuket Bird Park (200+ words) written in a natural, human style:

⸻

Visiting Phuket Bird Park was one of the most memorable experiences during my time in Thailand. Nestled in a lush, tropical environment, the park offers a perfect blend of entertainment, education, and relaxation. From the moment you walk in, you are surrounded by the sounds of nature—colorful parrots calling out, exotic birds fluttering above, and the peaceful setting of well-maintained gardens and shaded walkways.

The highlight for me was the bird show, where beautifully trained macaws, hornbills, and eagles showcased their intelligence and skills. The trainers clearly have a strong bond with the birds, and the performances were both fun and impressive, especially when the parrots solved puzzles or flew gracefully over the audience. It was an exciting experience not only for children but also for adults who appreciate the beauty and intelligence of these creatures.

What I also appreciated was the opportunity to get close to the birds. You can take photos with parrots perched on your arm or shoulder, making it a truly interactive visit. The park staff were friendly, helpful, and made sure visitors were comfortable and safe around the animals.

Overall, Phuket Bird Park is more than just an attraction—it is a celebration of nature and wildlife. It’s a wonderful place for families, couples, or solo travelers who want to experience something unique and unforgettable in Phuket. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to add a touch of adventure and color...

I’m no animal rights activist, but this place was downright cruel. Big birds in tiny cages with nothing but a single branch. It was like visiting an insane asylum for animals.

The animals are all in cages that are far too small and with no source of mental stimulation. I was excited to visit but was left depressed at the horrid conditions. I would have paid twice as much to visit a place with less animals, but better enclosures.

Aside from the tortured birds with clipped wings desperately trying to escape their jail cells, the crocodiles had nothing but concrete and a tiny stagnant, festering pool. The ostrich was scraggly and literally had some sort of organ hanging out of it while it walked around. The enclosure with multiple birds was well overcrowded and the birds were trying to kill each other.

The nocturnal hedgehogs were left in an overcrowded tiny plastic cage in the daylight. The red squirrels were in a tiny cage in the baking sunlight with very little in the way of shade.

Even if you don’t care about the welfare of the animals, I still wouldn’t recommend this place. Its a tiny, run down dump with unfriendly staff and little to see or do.

I wish I could add the videos I took of the animals trying to kill each other. Instead, here are a couple screenshots and a photo of one of the tiny bird cages left in the 38 degree heat...

Despite these minor points, the friendly staff, beautiful surroundings, and engaging experiences made our visit truly enjoyable.
