Safari World — Attraction in Sam Wa Tawan Tok Subdistrict

Getting There We stayed in Baiyoke sky tower, Bangkok, and pre-booked a private taxi through Grab. Safari World is about 45–60 minutes away depending on traffic. We left at 8:40 AM and reached right on time for the park’s 10:00 AM opening.

We had booked combo tickets online that included: Entry to Marine Park Entry to Safari Park Buffet Lunch 4.Seat-in-coach for the Safari Drive

Morning at Marine Park – Full of Action-Packed Shows We started our day at Marine Park, and this part felt like a wildlife-themed amusement park. It’s clean, colourful, and very well laid out. The moment we entered, we were handed a show schedule (definitely follow this!) and planned our route accordingly.

Shows We Watched – All Crowd-Pleasers Orangutan Show (Funniest of All!) Hands down, the most entertaining show of the day! The orangutans were dressed up, acted out comedy skits, danced, hugged each other, and even mock-fought like boxers. My boys were laughing out loud throughout.

Elephant Show Being from India, we’ve seen elephants — but watching them paint, play football, dance, and do synchronized stunts was something new. The coordination and training of these gentle giants were amazing. My 6-year-old kept asking, “How is he painting with his trunk!?”

The James bond show It was based on a theme , bond vs enemy of state. It was fun. Sit on beyond 10th row if you dont want to get drenched in water splash. We sat a few rows back to avoid getting splashed — smart move if you don’t want to get soaked

Dolphin Show (The Grand Finale) This was easily the most majestic show of the day. The dolphins performed flips, danced, did high jumps, and interacted joyfully with their trainers. The music, atmosphere, and energy of this show had everyone mesmerized. Sit on 10

Sea Lion Show We skipped it as kids were tired.

Other Attractions in Marine Park Giraffe Feeding Platform: A fun highlight! Both boys fed bananas to giraffes from an elevated platform(chargeable 200 BAHT). The giraffes were super friendly and came close. It was a bit slimy but absolutely worth it!

Buffet Lunch – Decent & Family Friendly We had our lunch at the designated buffet area. There were decent vegetarian and kid-friendly options — rice, rotis,stir-fried veggies, curries, and fruits. full Indian food, comfortable enough for an Indian palate.

Afternoon at Safari Park – A Relaxing Drive-Through After lunch and a bit of rest, we headed to the Safari Park, which is a drive-through zoo. We boarded the shared safari coach (included in our combo ticket), which took us through the open animal enclosures. there were no tigers or lions in this safari. But the animals we did see were still impressive and kept the kids fascinated.

What We Saw on Safari Drive: Zebras Giraffes Ostriches Rhinoceroses Deer and antelopes Camels A few types of bears Buffalo and wild cattle It was a peaceful, slow ride, where animals freely roamed in large open areas, and some even came right next to the bus. No cages, no stress — it felt very natural. My boys loved spotting animals and yelling, “Look! A rhino!” every few minutes. It’s a relaxing way to wind down after the excitement of the morning shows.

Tips from One Indian Dad to Another: Reach early to make the most of the shows. 2.Wear comfortable shoes — there’s a lot of walking. 3.Carry water bottles, sunscreen, and caps — even in September, it gets sunny. Follow the show schedule strictly — it’s the best way to see everything. Book the combo tickets online — it saves time and often money. 6.Don’t expect a typical zoo — it’s more of a family theme park with animals and shows.

Final Thoughts – Worth It? 100%! If you're visiting Bangkok with your kids, Safari World is a no-brainer. It’s entertaining, safe, clean, and full of fun moments.

Rating: 9.5/10 Perfect family outing in Bangkok. Highly recommended for Indian families, especially with kids...
