The new zoo, dubbed Thailand’s first green zoo, in Thanya Buri district, will have a soft launch by early 2026. The zoo will ban plastic and be powered by renewable energy, according to Attapon Srihayrun, the director of the Zoological Park Organization (ZPO).
Attapon made the statements during a recent inspection visit to the site, where the entrance zone has been opened as a mini zoo. Work is still in the early stages, with workers clearing the land and preparing to install infrastructure, including a water drainage system.
