This popular tourist stop 30 kilometers north of Pattaya was forced to close its doors for several weeks at the end of 2004 when 83 tigers at the zoo either died or were culled after becoming infected with bird flu. The tigers were found to have been fed raw chicken carcasses infected with avian influenza. The incident attracted worldwide publicity, but at the time of writing the zoo was reopened and reported that things were back to normal.
Despite their loss, the zoo claims to have the largest number of Bengal tigers in captivity. In addition to the tigers there are numerous attractions, including a circus, which can accommodate more than 1,500 visitors daily, women wrestling alligators, pig-racing contests, and a variety of animals, from camels to crocodiles, thousands of them, which create ideal photo opportunities. There is also a “happy family” exhibit where a tiger, a pig and a dog coexist.
