Plan notes

Useful context before you go

Plan this as a late-afternoon-to-evening wildlife outing. Chiang Mai Night Safari is open from 11:00 to 22:00, but the ticket counter closes at 21:00 and the first night safari departs at 17:30. Foreign visitor pricing shown on-site is 400 baht for the Jaguar Trail and 1,200 baht for the Safari Tram, while a Klook booking was shown at approximately 950–960 baht before any applicable discount. Keep the QR ticket ready for direct scanning at entry; no counter redemption is required. From Chiang Mai town, the creator reports taxi access at approximately 300 baht per group or about 60 baht per person. Arrive before the 17:30 tiger show, then follow the show schedule and tram queues. The English and Thai tram lines are separate. The regular walking area closes at 20:00. The experience is wildlife-focused and family-friendly, with deer, blue-and-yellow macaws, cockatoos, fish, tigers, lions, wild boar, and other animals mentioned during the visit.

Itinerary highlights

What is in this plan

Day 1: Chiang Mai Night Safari

Take a taxi from Chiang Mai town to the park’s south-side entrance, arriving with enough time for ticket scanning and the 17:30 tiger show. Prioritize the two tram rides after the performances: the Savanna Safari and Predator Prowl. If you want the walking area, visit it before 20:00 because it closes earlier than the park. Allow the full afternoon and evening rather than treating this as a quick stop.

  1. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Use the main entrance on the south side of Chiang Mai. The park opens at 11:00 and closes at 22:00; arriving before the evening program gives you time to scan your QR ticket and view the entrance animals, including deer and blue-and-yellow macaws.

  2. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Book the admission and Safari Tram combination before arrival if using the discounted booking option. The QR code can be scanned directly at the entrance, avoiding ticket-counter redemption. The on-site foreign visitor prices shown were 400 baht for the Jaguar Trail and 1,200 baht for the Safari Tram.

  3. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Reach the lake-side show area for the 17:30 tiger show. The performance featured white, golden, and regular tigers, along with a lion. Seating can fill up, so arrive ahead of the start time.

  4. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Continue to the Wild Animal Show, also identified as the Night Predators show. The segment includes close views of animals and feeding activity, including wild boar. Check the posted schedule on arrival because show times are displayed inside the park.

  5. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Stop at the Cowboy Show area for the scheduled performance. Seating is more limited than at the tiger show, so treat it as an optional show rather than arriving at the last minute.

  6. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Watch the Musical Fountain and Dancing Show after the other performances. The fountain is especially atmospheric after dark, with illuminated water rising in front of the mountain backdrop.

  7. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Queue for the Savanna Safari Tram at its dedicated station. The English and Thai lines are separate; use the English line if you need English commentary. The night ride provides close views of animals in the open-air safari landscape, and feeding may be available when supplies are not sold out.

  8. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Take the second tram experience from the Predator Prowl Tram Station. This is the darker, predator-focused ride and was described as one of the strongest parts of the evening experience.

  9. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Explore the Jaguar Trail Zone if you arrive early enough to use the walking route. The regular walking area closes at 20:00, so do not leave this section until after the tram rides.

  10. Chiang Mai Night Safari Main EntranceChiang Mai Night Safari, Nong Kwai, Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

    Use the Family Zone for the park’s broader animal-viewing areas, including the family-oriented exhibits and nearby encounters described during the visit. This is a practical place to spend time between scheduled shows and tram departures.
