    Safari World: open zoo at safari world
  • Tip Rating:
  • we opted for an additional tour of safari world (whole day), worth 1300 baht per person, which includes safari world open zoo, marine shows and buffet lunch...we got to see various animals at their natural habitat while inside a coaster, we got to see feeding time of lions...the buffet lunch was ok, with thai food and delicacies...but themarine shows are just ok comparable to the shows in the philippines...you can save a lot of money and time if you skip the marine shows...you can save half the price! but the safari world open tour is worth the money!
