Pata Zoo
Name of a
privately owned animal zoo in
Bangkok, located on the top two floors, i.e. the sixth
and seventh floors, of the Pata Department Store on
Phra Pinklao Road. Due to its peculiar location one might not expect large animals, yet the zoo
exhibits all kinds of animals, both small and large, from tiny fish and birds, to
Orang Utans,
tigers
and other large cats. It also features a rather unique
collection of civets and other nocturnal animals. Many of the cages, especially
those that house the reptiles and nocturnal animals, are in a Thai-Khmer
style, featuring ancient ruins with vines and
bas-reliefs.
There is also a children's corner with pet-like mammals, such as rabbits, guinea
pigs, pygmy goats and other friendly creatures, a rooftop waterfall, as well as has
daily shows that include animals, such as monkeys and parrots. In Thai, it is
known as
Suan Sat Phatah. See MAP.
