Chiang Mai Zoo occupies a hillside at the foot of Doi Suthep and is one of Thailand's largest zoos, housing over 7,000 animals including giant pandas (on loan from China), a walk-through aquarium tunnel, and snow-dome penguin exhibit.
Chiang Mai Zoo began as a private collection of Harold Mason Young, an American missionary, in the 1950s. The Thai government took over operations in 1977 and expanded the site to its current 84 hectares.
