Bangkok to Khao Kheow Open Zoo taxi price
Khao Kheow Open Zoo is outside Pattaya city, so we confirm a fixed price for your exact pickup point and car when you book. It includes tolls, fuel and the driver, and you pay after the ride. For reference, a sedan to central Pattaya is THB 1,200 from Bangkok city and THB 1,000 from Suvarnabhumi.
A big open zoo between Bangkok and Pattaya
Khao Kheow Open Zoo is a large wildlife park set in the forested hills of Chonburi province. Animals live in wide, open enclosures spread across the hillside, which makes it a favourite with families and school groups. The zoo lies off the main route between Bangkok and Pattaya, so it fits neatly into the journey to the coast rather than being a separate excursion. It is a day out that works for toddlers and grandparents alike, as long as everyone has comfortable shoes and plenty of water.
Travelling with children and bags
A Bangkok to Khao Kheow Open Zoo taxi is the easy way to arrive with kids, strollers and snacks without changing transport. Your driver drops you at the main entrance and parking area. If you are on your way to a Pattaya hotel, the luggage can stay in the boot while you visit, and the driver continues to your hotel once you are done. Tell us when you book so we can plan the waiting time and quote one fixed price for the whole trip.

Timing your visit
The zoo is large and best explored early, before the midday heat. Since it sits between Bangkok and Pattaya, the drive is shorter than the full run into Pattaya, so a morning pickup from your Bangkok hotel or an early arrival at Suvarnabhumi gives you plenty of time. If you are staying in Bangkok, ask us to arrange the drive back as well. Booking your Bangkok to Khao Kheow Open Zoo taxi a day or two ahead is enough in most cases, even at weekends. During Thai school holidays, though, cars and vans get busier, so reserve earlier if your dates are fixed.
