The Phuket Zoo and the many other attractions around the island offer you an unparalleled opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the world's most powerful and powerful creatures than you ever thought possible. It is important to realize that the Thai version of the zoo is very different from the Western interpretation. With animals encouraged to perform for a large audience, they can be more like a circus than a zoo. Tropics and exotic animals are intrinsically linked, with crocodiles, tigers, monkeys, elephants, birds, butterflies and snakes here in Phuket, some of which offer fun shows while others enjoy a more sober lifestyle. The chance to get up close to these wonderful creatures is definitely worth a visit.
