Koh Samui is indeed a very interesting destination.
Tourists are lured to this place because there are so many great things to do
on the island, there’s the beach, and tons of other fun-filled activities.
There are plenty of things to do in Koh Samui.
Aside from being able to stroll around at numerous fine-sand beaches and
catching the biggest fishes you have ever seen in your entire life, you can
also explore the diversity of wildlife at Koh Samui.
Samui is home to the planet’s most amazing plant and
animal life. One of the best things to
do in Koh Samui is to visit the tigers. The Samui Tiger Zoo is the best
place to check out these amazing creatures. The zoo allows visitors to get to
know the very regal Bengal Tigers and leopard cubs. This is a lot different from other Koh Samui attractions, but for animal
lovers out there and those who have kids, this is bound to be a hit.
The zoo offers a very convenient aquarium type area
where visitors can watch these mighty creatures which roam freely in their own
natural environment. It’s a rare opportunity to get to see tigers this up close
and personal, so you’ll probably always remember your visit here. There is
something absolutely disarming about these creatures frolicking and strolling in
a relaxed manner---without the restrictions of very tight cages and other
constricting boundaries. The good thing is that, visitors can also take
pictures to take home as souvenirs.
Tigers are highly held creatures here in the island
and so if one wants to try some unconventional things to do in Koh Samui,
visiting the zoo is a very good idea. Individuals out there who are extremely
brave can even go inside the cages and take pictures right next to baby tigers
and fully grown tigers. If you are game, then make sure to bring your own
camera. Professional photographers can also take photos for you can your loved
ones for an inexpensive rate.
The Samui Tiger Zoo is not exclusive to tigers and
leopards. Since it shares the same complex with the Orchid Zoo, there is a
large variety of creatures one can see here too. There is a giant aquarium
where one can get to know local marine life like turtles, sharks, and a number
of rainbow coloured tropical fishes. If you have kids with you, make sure that
you include the visit to the zoo in your list of things to do Koh Samui.
