Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Pattaya
Although it’s a bit further — just under an hour’s drive from the Royal Wing Suites & Spa — Khao Kheow Open Zoo is well worth the trip. The home of the legendary baby pygmy hippopotamus, Moo Deng, this expansive, open-concept zoo allows animals to thrive in natural habitats. Moo Deng became a global media sensation in September 2024 when content of the adorable baby hippo posted by her zookeeper went viral. Rotund, pink-cheeked, and undeniably adorable, her playful nature and tendency to bite the knee of her caretaker captured the hearts of those worldwide, bringing people from around the world to Thailand just to visit this very zoo and see her in person. The best time to visit this zoo in Pattaya would be the morning hours between 8AM – 9AM when her keepers clean her habitat, splashing water around and inciting her playfulness. Alternatively, visiting her during the afternoon at her mother’s 2 PM feeding time would also be ideal, as she tends to follow her mother around the enclosure, feeling safe in her nurturing presence. Other than the world’s favorite baby hippo, there are many other animals to be amazed by at this Pattaya zoo, such as elephants, monkeys, exotic hooved animals and more. Families can enjoy a safari-like experience while learning about Thailand’s thoughtful wildlife conservation efforts.
