Chiang Mai Zoo - Chiang Mai Attractions

Chiang Mai Zoo was established by The Zoological Park Organization, Thailand in 1974. Situate on 531 acres of verdant forest land at the foothill of Doi Suthep mountain, hilly terrain surrounded the zoo which is, home to thousands of species of wild plants and flowers adorning the natural landscape of valleys, streams and waterfalls.

Chiang Mai Zoo is the first and only zoo in Northern Thailand where visitors can experience the excitement and intimacy of various species of animals in their natural habitat.

The highlight of Chiang Mai zoo is Lin Ping. Lin Ping is panda of Chiang Mai Zoo. Chiang Mai people is happy when he born.

In 2001, The vice-prime minister and minister of defence (a full general Chawalit Yongjaiyut) talked with the president and prime minister of The People's Republic of China about the giant panda.

He wanted to display giant panda in Thailand. The government of China was glad to give 1 pair of giant panda for friendship ambassador and celebration of Her Majesty the Queen's 6 cycle birthday anniversary in 2004. So, that is the reason for the project for panda research and display in Thailand.

The government of Thailand entrusted the Zoological Park Organization to take responsibility for these very rare giant panda. They are on display at Chiang Mai Zoo in Chiang Mai province.
