Bangkok Safari

Another thing that we did on our recent trip to Bangkok that we have not done before was to go to on a Safari. Yes you read right a Safari! You see now that the little one is older and more demanding LOL we need to find stuff that is more entertaining for her. So instead of the usual shopping and stuff we have to find new and improved things to do.

Now when I first heard about the Safari I too was skeptical but boy was I in for a pleasant surprise.

There were birds and macaws of wonderful colours at Birdland. This picture was take by my little girl.

There was a Sea World that had several dolphins and beluga whales in the show which was very impressive.
Above you can see one of the whales taking a bow and below are the dolphins lined up for treats.

This is at the beautiful entrance. As you can see we take the part of looking like tourists very seriously LOL

There was a neat place to have lunch with food cooked fresh from little boats.
This little black swan took a liking to us and we gave him some goodies for his troubles. Pic by daughter.

This was the Orangutan show that was pretty amazing. At firstI thought it was going to be totally exploitative but it wasn't so bad. There was a fake boxing match, with cheering fans, nurses, drives, stretcher bearers and boxers and all Orangutans.

There was even a few polar bears. This big guy looked so cool and relaxed in his enclosure.

There were a lot of crocodiles and this one looked nasty...probably wondering who's going to be his next meal.

This was also at the entrance. These girraffes look like they are having so much fun...but they are fake...hehe...the real ones are at the safari side of the park.

This is the entrance to the dangerous animals enclosures at the safari park. It's all drive through.

Here are the bears. They were huge.

This fellow was having a nice cool dip in the pool. Reminded me of Yogi bear LOL... Wassamatta Boo Boo?

This was after we realized that the windows should be wound up. DOH The bear looks like he is at a Japanese restaurant where the food is on a conveyor....and we are the food. LOL

The tigers looked lazy...I guess they were waiting for dinner...and we were invited...as the main course LOL. The real feeding time was a little later.

Here is a picture of a lion looking real majestic. There were quite a few big lions around and I caught one snacking in the distance with the videocam. Just wondered which tourist who left the car was the snack...hehe

We then left the predators enclosure..these are either wilderbeest or Kudu...nice pair of horns dude...hehe

This strange creature was found in the car...LOL

There was a nice little "flintstones type house" for the deer to mingle and have a "beer" LOL

Stork island...there were loads of stork and flamingos all around the lake...one part was practically covered with them

More birds of a feather flocking together...

A little lost mousedeer...okay he was not lost but he does have that deer in the headlights look LOL pic by daughter...

This is not a close up of a rhino...this was us real close to a real big rhino....

The big fella was trundling along as we drove past...I couldn't help thinking that we'd be toast if he decided to give the car a little nudge

One of the camels...this guy is probably wondering why he has to have those horrible humps to carry water when there was a lake nearby LOL

Another strange creature...hehe

Zebra... Bubt, butt, butt!!!

More rhinos and some giraffe in the distance...you can feed the giraffe over there...nice shades dude LOL

Actually this is the first picture we took...of some ostrich...we were excited cause we could actually drive in the park Then we knew why they put the ostritch at the begining...this nasty fellow came right up to the car...reminded us that it was still wild animals and we should stay in the car :)

We'll that was only some of the pictures...there were loads more to do like the Cowboy show, the Spy Show and the sealion/walrus show, not to mention a jungle cruise and loads of other things to see. I only wished that we had more time but it was our last day in Bangkok and we departed that night so we couldn't stay until later. If fact I really must thank my friend Ning who took us there. It was a fourty five minute drive each way from our hotel.

Cheers!
