Lopburi Zoo
Overview
4.2
Lopburi Zoo is a small zoo in the town by the same name. It is possibly funded by the government, and, as such, the cages are less than adequate. Originally, there were reports of five tigers living here with a family of dogs as their companions. However, by our visit, this turned out to be long past and there were now only two tigers kept in two separate cages.
Interactions
Tiger-tourist interactions often involve unnatural behaviors and environments that can lead to welfare issues. If you're looking for ethical and welfare-friendly tiger experiences, avoid places offering interactions.
