Discover the Sriracha Tiger Zoo, home to over 200 tigers and 10,000 crocodiles, not to be confused with the Khao Kheow Zoo
By Jack Corbett
The Khao Kheow Zoo is huge as in gigantic whereas the Sri Racha Tiger Zoo is much more manageable--one doesn't need a golf kart to get around. It also has shows--obviously there's going to be a tiger show which is to be expected considering the place's name. But there's also a crocodile show and an elephant show. And there's tigers and apes to pose with, and unexpectedly since not far away Pattaya has its own crocodile farm, there are a couple of thousand crocodiles here. One can even watch baby crocs being hatched out of eggs and tigers cavorting with pigs.
The Sri Racha Tiger Zoo comes well advertised. One can get a mini bus tour of the place at any one of Pattaya's travel agencies. There's little brochures everywhere. This is not true of the Khao Kheow Zoo so do not be confused. Just remember--Siracha equals two zoos. One is the wrong answer.
