An Adventure with Your Love: Exploring Khao Kheow Open Zoo
So, you and your special someone are traveling in Thailand? How about making your trip even more memorable with an adventure at Khao Kheow Open Zoo, a hidden gem near Pattaya where you’ll meet Thailand’s beloved celebrity animal: Moo Deng, the cutest baby pygmy hippo! And don’t worry, if you compliment your partner by saying, "You’re as cute as Hippo" this time, you won’t get smacked—this little hippo is absolutely winning hearts!
Getting Ready for the Adventure
Put on your Boy Meets Girl couple T-shirts to show off that you’re together (and just in case you get separated!). The zoo is huge, so a little planning can go a long way. Khao Kheow is home to over 8,000 animals, and whether you’re an animal lover or just looking for a fun day out, there’s so much to see here.
How to Get There
Khao Kheow Open Zoo is about a 2-hour drive from Bangkok. The easiest way to get there is to rent a car or book a private taxi. If you’re already in Pattaya, it’s just a short 30-minute drive away. You can spend a whole day here, so be sure to arrive early—9 AM is perfect!
What to See
Start with the zoo’s star attractions:
- Moo Deng the pygmy hippo, of course!
- Playful penguins
- Majestic giraffes
- Gentle elephants
- Watch out for the playful otters, they’ll steal your heart!
Ticket Prices
Entrance fees are very affordable, around 150 THB for adults and 30 THB for children. You’ll also find options for animal shows and feeding experiences.
The best time to visit is early in the morning or late afternoon, around 9 AM to 4 PM, when it’s cooler, and the animals are most active. Plus, it gives you plenty of time to wander around and not miss anything!
End Your Day in Style
After a full day exploring the zoo, head over to Pattaya, where you can check into one of the many stunning hotels nearby. If you want to surprise your partner, decorate the room with Boy Meets Girl pillowcases for a personal touch. Your loved one is sure to adore it!
Make this adventure one to remember, and don’t forget to capture those special moments!
Why This Date Will Be Unforgettable
There’s something magical about sharing a day full of animals, laughter, and little surprises with your partner. Whether you’re admiring a giraffe’s long neck or losing yourselves in the zoo, just remember—Moo-Deng won’t be the only one stealing the spotlight. The love you share will make it a day to remember.
So, pack your couple shirts, grab your pillowcases, and let’s make this trip one for the books!
