What the centre is

DASTA, the government agency for the Pattaya tourism area, describes the centre as a place for studying and breeding protected or endangered wild animals before releasing them to the wild. Visitors can watch rare animals such as deer, hog deer and Eld's deer, and see more than 90 bears; DASTA mentions feeding them.

It is a working station, not a zoo, DASTA says: it also gathers data and develops plants, food and nutrition for wildlife. Expect enclosures and research grounds rather than shows.

Hours, fees and getting there

DASTA lists the centre as open Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:30, so plan a weekday visit. Entry is 200 baht for foreign visitors, 20 baht for Thai adults and 10 baht for Thai children.

It is in Huay Yai subdistrict, inland in Bang Lamung district, off the baht-bus routes. Go by car or taxi and arrange the ride back; call 033 004 989 before you set off, as hours can change on public holidays.
