Paradise Park​ Farm — Attraction in Surat Thani Province

Although I seldom pen reviews, this occasion urged me to do so. Much of the information available online about this place is blatantly out of date. We got there during midday, and to our surprise, we were the only visitors present. I strategically parked my car under a tree for the shade, considering the comfort it would offer upon our return. However, the lady at the ticket counter, who was noticeably unwelcoming, instructed me to relocate my car to a sunlit area - bear in mind that ours was the solitary vehicle in the entire parking lot. Upon approaching her to purchase tickets, we were met with an immediate demand for payment without any form of reciprocation to our friendly greetings. She simply sat there, glaring at us with a scowl.

Once inside, we were engulfed by a flurry of doves - a novel encounter which we found enjoyable, evidenced by the children's laughter and delight. However, as we ventured further into the park, we found a noticeable dearth of animals - only a handful of caged birds were present. There were numerous trails leading into a steep valley which we had expected would lead us to more animals. We took the challenging trek down the mountain on foot, only to be met with disappointment at the lack of fauna. Moreover, most of the directional signs were damaged beyond recognition, leaving us guessing where they were meant to lead.

The trails were grossly overgrown and poorly maintained. Some footbridges were in a state of decay, forcing us to leap over several sections to circumvent potential collapse. I had high hopes for this place, wanting to truly relish the experience. Sadly, it proved to be a disheartening encounter and definitely not commensurate with the hefty entrance fee. Here's hoping they manage to rejuvenate...

Paradise Park Farm is a beautiful place to visit in Koh Samui. There are a lot of animals and an enormous garden that is very well-maintained. The coolest activity is feeding and observing the pigeons. These pigeons are white with tails that come in shades of pink, blue, yellow, and orange. It's very unusual, and honestly, we didn't understand if it's natural or they color them. They also have very cute deer, but to access them, you need to pass through the goat's enclosure; there's no other way. The goat attempted to approach us and even attack, but it wasn't dangerous. Then, there are iguanas, rabbits, parrots, and ducks.

In the garden, they have a variety of flowers, coconuts, and even durian (known as the king of fruits) and pomelo. They've created small winding paths for you to discover the treasures of their enchanting garden. Additionally, there's a very beautiful swimming pool and a restaurant serving Eastern and Thai cuisine. The views are stunning.

They also offer a viewpoint where you can enjoy a swing and capture beautiful pictures. Tickets are a little expensive : 400 Baths per person, kids will...

This is a truly amazing place, located on a hill with magnificent panoramic views.

The variety of birds and animals makes it a wonderful attraction for both children and adults. Visitors are given food to feed them, which adds to the experience.

Entrance fees are 400 THB for adults and 200 THB for children under 130 cm. We spent about 3–4 hours here, including some relaxing time in the swimming pool. Towels are available with a 200 THB deposit.

The area is very clean and well-maintained. There’s also a lovely restaurant on-site with great views, offering both Thai and Western dishes — all delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

Highly recommended for a fun and relaxing visit.

The only downside for us was seeing that some pigeons had their tails painted in different colors — which we feel is not respectful...
