Chiang Mai Animals

Chiang Mai animals come in all shapes and sizes. If your family loves animals, then Chiangmai will be an excellent choice for a family holiday. The most popular Chiang Mai animal attractions are the elephants. Throughout Thailand, elephants are revered as special creatures and a Chiang Mai elephant ride is a must do on your list during your visit to Thailand's northern capital.

One of the most recent additions to the Chiang Mai animal scene is the newly opened Tiger Kingdom. Located just off the Samoeng Rd., the Tiger Kingdom provides your family with the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with tiger cubs. Where else can you go and spend 30 minutes playing with real live tigers? Don't forget your camera on this tour. Photos of your adventure with the tigers is must for your friends back home.

The Chiang Mai night safari is another way for you to have a close up encounter with Chiang Mai animals. A ride on the trams allows your family to see several species of animals in a more natural setting. The trip through the savanna and the predator prowl are narrated tours.

We recently made a visit to the Chiang Mai zoo. Our first visit was over ten years ago. The Chiang Mai zoo has really changed in recent years and it is much more family friendly. The zoo covers a large area and it now has a tram and monorail which help get around the zoo with your family on hot days.
