When asked about "Pata Zoo," everyone responds in unison, "Is it still open?"
"Yes, you heard correctly!" Pata Zoo is still open to the public as usual.

The question then arises: "Why go? What's there?" In all honesty, there's not much to see. Except for the star of the show, "Bualoy," the first gorilla ever exhibited in Thailand. However, the male gorilla has since passed away, leaving "Bualoy" as the sole remaining attraction of this zoo.

Having last visited a decade ago, I was curious to see how Pata Zoo has changed. Thus, "Raiding Pata, Hunting for King Kong at Pata Zoo" was born.

PATA Zoo: A Small Oasis in the Heart of Bangkok

PATA Zoo, a compact zoo located on the 6th and 7th floors of the PATA Department Store in Bangkok's Pin Klao district, offers a unique urban wildlife experience. Open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the zoo provides a haven for animal lovers and families seeking a convenient escape from the bustling city.



You can choose to take the escalator or the elevator to the 5th floor of the Pata Department Store, where you can purchase tickets to the zoo. Tickets are 80 baht for adults and 50 baht for children.



With our tickets in hand, it's time to embark on our zoo adventure!

The Future of Wildlife: A Delicate Balance

The fate of wildlife hangs precariously in the balance, its future contingent upon humanity's actions. Will we choose to conserve and protect these irreplaceable creatures, or will we be the architects of their demise?

The responsibility lies with each of us to ensure the survival of these magnificent beings. Through dedicated conservation efforts, we can safeguard their habitats, mitigate threats, and foster a harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural world.

However, the path forward is fraught with challenges. Unsustainable practices, habitat destruction, and the illegal wildlife trade continue to exert immense pressure on vulnerable populations.

The time for action is now. We must act collectively and decisively to protect the delicate tapestry of life that sustains us all. Only then can we ensure a future where wildlife thrives, enriching our planet and future generations.

Upon reaching the 6th floor, we were immediately greeted by a python waiting for us at the door.

We will first visit the outdoor zone, which houses snakes, lizards, salamanders, and other reptiles.

Upon entering, we will encounter various reptiles and amphibians, including snakes, monitor lizards, turtles, spiders, and stingrays. Snakes are the most prevalent species in this area.



The highlight of the visit is the 7th floor, where you will be greeted by a variety of birds.


This zone is a children's zoo with rabbits, sheep, and goats that you can feed milk and vegetables. You can also see flamingos standing gracefully by the pond.

The next zone will introduce you to the fascinating world of primates.

The orangutan is adorable and playful. It's a joy to watch it.


And finally, we found the treasure that Buppa Ta had been searching for, the "Little Lotus King Kong," or the gorilla we were looking for. It was sleeping, so the picture came out like this. We'll come back later.

And then we walked around again. Oh, you're spacing out. Are you thinking about someone?


Subsequently, "Little Bua Noi" went to lie down inside.

Continuing along the path, you will encounter various species of trees, including the majestic Malabar giant squirrel, the fragrant Michelia champaca, and the shy Barringtonia acutangula.


This enclosure houses chimpanzees. They were sitting at the edge of their cage, seemingly gazing intently through the glass.
Their longing to be free was evident in their eyes, which evoked a sense of empathy.
(Note: There was also a fox enclosure next to the chimpanzee enclosure, but it was too blurry to capture in the photo.)


Continuing on, there are porcupines, monkeys, peacocks, and more.


Children often feed the monkeys, which is likely an enjoyable and exciting experience for them.

Let's continue exploring.




The final stop of the Pata invasion was at "Cat," a playful orangutan and macaw. The picture speaks for itself, showing how playful "Cat" is. 555 So cute!

And finally, the journey to explore "Pata Zoo" has come to an end. I would like to conclude with a picture of a young child with a monkey.
It's not over yet, I want to scroll down to read the good feelings before closing...

The experience of visiting Pata Zoo has taught me that . . .

Many adults believe that the zoo should be closed down so that the animals can be moved to a better environment.

It is understandable that some people might ask, "Why bother going to the zoo? It doesn't seem like a worthwhile place to visit."

One thing I have personally witnessed is the joy and happiness of the children who visit this place. From their perspective, they would not want these animals to be relocated far away from them.

"As children, we all experienced the joy and excitement of visiting the zoo."

As an ordinary citizen, the least I can do is visit Pata Zoo. At least our money will be used for animal food and wages for animal caretakers, so that they will have the motivation to continue their work. And so that the animals do not feel abandoned.
