The Sriracha Tiger Show is spectacular and exciting.

The Sriracha Tiger Zoo is spending about 100 million baht to improve and expand the zoo and offer new and exciting activities for visitors. A performance stage has been built, new waterfalls installed and the night zoo has been expanded. All these improvements are expected to be completed in time for the coming high season.

Mr. Monthree Termsiriphong, Managing Director of the Sriracha Tiger Zoo said, "We have spent 50 million baht on creating new and exciting adventures which will surely be a big hit with all our guests. They can now get closer to our 400 tigers and feed them. We have also constructed a BB-Gun field and a stage to feature performances from the entertainers we have hired from Kenya. These talented performers will be showing off their traditional Kenyan dances as well as swimming with the tigers. We have created a waterfall with cliffs and a cave which will become a home to many of our international birds and a photo spot for our guests. All of this will be opened for the guests to enjoy from July onwards while our other projects are expected to be completed by the end of this year."

Mr. Monthree continued, "Another 50 million baht will be used on our night zoo project which will extend our hours to 10:00 pm. This will give our guests more time to enjoy the many activities we have installed for them and give them a chance to see animal life during the night. The zoo will have new and attractive lighting throughout and we will also have a wider selection of restaurants. In two to three years time we are planning to have our own resort and a health center. The health center will allow Thais and foreigners to learn how treatments made from crocodile organs can heal many diseases. This unique mixture has already been approved by Kasetsart University and we are now teaming up with Chinese partners to further our research and bring these products to our guests at the zoo."

Sriracha Tiger Zoo is located about 30 minutes away from Pattaya and opens from 7:30 am to 6:00 pm. Entrance is 120 baht for adults, 60 baht for children and free for children shorter than 100 cm. Sriracha Zoo does not operate a two-tiered pricing system!
