Dolphin show in the park
Safari World (Thai: ซาฟารี เวิลด์) is a zoo in Khlong Sam Wa, a district of Bangkok, Thailand's capital.
Safari World consists of two parks, namely a safari park and a naval park. The park was opened in 1988. The zoo then had an area of 190 ha and the bird park 73 ha. On April 17, 1989, a major renovation began with the aim of making better use of the land at the park. Today, the zoo consists of an open zoo and a marine park of 80.9 hectares. On February 1, 1994, the registered capital of Safari World increased from 750 million baht (about 18.2 million euros) to 1500 million baht (about 36 million euros) and the zoo changed its name to Safari World Public Company Limited. Later, with the permission of Thailand's stock exchange, it became the first and only listed entertainment park. The safari park has a length of 8 kilometers and a ride takes about three quarters, with hundreds of animals being seen. There are many wild animals, such as tigers and lions. Daily these two are conducted to the public. The naval park has a varied collection of animals that live in water, on land and in the air.
There has been a lot of controversy around Safari World due to the way in which animals were treated. Their relationship with animals has been under international supervision, in particular dealing with orangutans and elephants. The issue of orangutanism came to the attention of Jim and Alisson Cronin, the founders of Monkey World, and animal rights organizations such as PETA.
