Feeding the giraffes
Safari Park Kanchanaburi: giraffe feeding is the highlight for most visitors
This is the experience most visitors come for. You buy food sets on site. Staff then show you how to feed the giraffes safely. Portions are small enough that everyone in a group gets a turn. The separate paid photo experience gets you closer for pictures.
The safari bus tour
Safari Park Kanchanaburi: the bus tour is included in your ticket
Your ticket includes a bus ride through the park's seven zones. Along the way you can see and feed deer, giraffes and other animals. Bananas, vegetables and carrots are sold before the tour starts, so buy some before you board.
Animal shows
Safari Park Kanchanaburi: show times differ on weekdays and weekends
Show times differ between weekdays and weekends. One source lists elephant shows at 10:00am, 1:00pm and 2:30pm on weekdays. On weekends it lists 10:00am, 11:30am, 2:00pm and 3:30pm. Confirm the day's schedule at the entrance.
How to get there
Bo Phloi District, Kanchanaburi: easiest reached by car or tour
The park sits in Bo Phloi District, well north of Kanchanaburi town, so it's easiest by car, private transfer or as part of a tour from Bangkok. The new M81 motorway has made the drive from Bangkok quicker. Some booking sites sell foreigner tickets with hotel transfers included, but they need to be booked at least a day ahead.

Practical tips
Arrive close to 9:00am. You'll beat the crowds and get better light for photos.
Buy animal food before the bus tour. The giraffes come right up to the bus once they see it.
Budget for add-ons. Food, the giraffe photo experience and other encounters can easily double your spend.
Pair it with the River Kwai Bridge or a café stop. Many day tours from Bangkok combine them.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming the giraffe photo experience is included. It's a separate paid add-on.
- Trusting one quoted ticket price. Foreigner prices differ across sources, so confirm on the day.
- Arriving late in the afternoon. You'll miss shows and rush the 3 to 5 hours the park deserves.
- Trying to reach it by public transport. The park is remote, so plan a car, transfer or tour.
