chris26be Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Anyone been there lately? Is it worth a visit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troehr Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 It is the Trakan Phuet Phoen Tiger Zoo. It only takes an hour or so to visit. I often stop whenever I go to Sam Phan Bok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much time should a first time visitor need to visit Sam Phan Bok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonrthai Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Not lately. I went a couple years ago. Loved it. We were the only ones there and there were a lot of newborn tigers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescollister Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 As a resident of Ubon Province didn't ever know there was a zoo. Love to hear from some who knows the place. Have to kids and like to take them to somethings bit different in the area. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergen Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I have been there, must have been back in 2007/08. I remember it was cheap to enter, 40 baht?, not many visitors, not well maintained, but had quite a range of animals and birds to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troehr Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 It is still 40 baht. It is best to go early in the morning, before they feed the tigers. They are their most active early. As for Sam Phan Bok, it depends on you how long you need. I can spend a day there exploring easily, but then I go places most people don't go. Most people spend an hour or two to see the main sites. You can also take a longtail on the river to a couple of other sites along the river. These side trips can be anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. It can be very hot there out on the rocks, so you need to be prepared for this. Also, I would try to find someone that has been there in the last couple of weeks to check the water level. I went once in the rainy season when China had opened their dams and everything was covered with water from bank to bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonrthai Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Head out of Ubon on the road to Trakan Phutphon & Khemmarat Hwy2050. If I remember correctly it's on the right hand side before Trakan Phutphon. As a resident of Ubon Province didn't ever know there was a zoo. Love to hear from some who knows the place. Have to kids and like to take them to somethings bit different in the area. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
