Chiang Mai Night Safari
Chiang Mai Night Safari
This state-run zoo allows visitors to observe wildlife after dark. The primary draw is the nighttime safari tour, where guests ride in open-air trams to view animals in large, open-air enclosures that simulate their natural habitats.
Getting There
The facility is located south of the city centre. Visitors typically reach it via songthaew (red trucks) or ride-hailing apps. The journey from the central area generally takes 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic.
Time Allocation
Allow approximately 3 to 4 hours to complete the experience. This accounts for the tram safari, the walking trails, and the animal presentations.
When to Visit
As the attraction focuses on nocturnal activity, visits occur in the evening. It is most crowded during the peak tourist season from November to February. To avoid the largest crowds, arrive early before the main tram tours begin.

- Doi Suthep-Pui National Park (7.5km)
