Badrabbit Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Never been until today, wanted me to pay 1500bht my GF and her family 100bht, I showed Thai driving licence and paid 100bht, over 60 free I'm over 60 but Farang so pay 100bht, what a disgusting dirty place, some of the animals living in dirty smelly water, the only good thing I saw was the Alligator Gar in the deep pool oh and the short Elephant show was good don't know if the Elephants enjoyed it though.

beechbum Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'm more amazed that someone who lives here (or maybe you don't?) doesn't know how bad/inhumane the Phuket zoo is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badrabbit Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 Lived in Phuket for 11 yrs, never been to the Zoo only heard stories how bad it was, at some point if you want to put forward an opinion you need to have experience of the something you are commenting about, hope that clarifies your comment.

Badrabbit Posted July 16, 2019 Author Share Posted July 16, 2019 I would rather see for myself which I did, it was worth 100bht just to see the Alligator Gar's.

bearpolar Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 always use tripadvisor before visiting a place in Thailand. People are very active on it here and it's rarely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badrabbit Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 Everyone is different, how can you be certain that any reports are not just malicious unless you actually go yourself??

The awful owners get nothing from me, unlike from you. You have made yourself part of the problem. If you only believe what you see, what is the point of going to school and getting an education? You argument about having to go yourself doesn't hold water, can't you see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badrabbit Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 I only went so as to make the effort of interacting with my GF's Issan family, they all seemed to enjoy it, I just thought "oh my god these poor animals" Alligator Gar though looked very healthy in deep clear water.

You finally gave an honest reply in post #18, though, if you knew of the zoos reputation, why didn't you explain to your wife's family why it would be best not to go.
