Songkhla Zoo

Songkhla Zoo is a large animal park in Khao Rup Chang featuring multiple exhibits where different species live in environments designed to resemble their natural habitats. The grounds include mountainous terrain and water features that create spaces for diverse animals.

The zoo was established as the first such facility in southern Thailand with a focus on breeding and protecting native animal species. This mission shaped how the park developed from the start.

The zoo serves as a place where visitors can experience Thailand's commitment to protecting its native animals and their habitats. This focus is visible in how the exhibits are designed and which species are kept here.

The grounds are straightforward to navigate on foot, as pathways through different areas are clearly marked. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and allow enough time to see the various sections of the park.

Regular penguin parades and tiger demonstrations happen throughout the day, allowing visitors to watch these animals during scheduled shows. These events are among the highlights of a visit and occur several times daily.
