"Welcome to the Chiang Mai Night Safari****" says Linda, the cute elephant at the entrance . . . While we imagine her saying that, her trunk was swinging non-stop from left to right! Ha Ha . . so well trained . .
Got ourselves a tour from a booth at the night market to the night safari, costs 650 baht per person. It includes the transport and the entrance fee, and we only reach the safari around 6.45pm. It is recommended (if going in a group) that you go by yourself instead of a tour, taking your own transport i.e. tuk-tuk/ songthaew [about 20min drive from town] and buy the ticket at the entrance which only cost 500baht.
This way, you can go to the park earlier, say reach around 5pm to do the walking trail where you can see animals at your own pace and take photographs of the animals [especially the white tigers =) ]. Then at 7pm, you can hop on the tram for night safari trail.
Part of the walking trail, we get to see a lot of interesting animals. The natural environment here is pretty good. For instance, we saw many deer on the way to the entrance of the park. Just lying and walking around. And visitors can get close to them. Then at the entrance, a cute jumbo was waiting for us there! Even this pair of black swan is having a good time around the tourists.

On the tram, here we go~~
Feeding the giraffes! It was pretty exciting to go on this tram ride. Because we get to feed the giraffe and zebras and deer and wild boars too~!! Zebras are quite shy though =) It was our first time getting so close to the zebras. Such lovely experience. Remember to buy the feeding food at 20baht per bucket.

Fire show
After the tram rides, there are dance performance, fire show and also the laser fountain show. The laser show is a little boring though. For the park ratings overall, personally we thought the Singapore's night safari is much more excited and up to standard. Their animal show is really nice too. But Chiang Mai's safari win on the variety of animals and the enclosures.
A picture with the white tiger cub . . . SO CUTE~ costs 250baht for this picture =) we get to touch the baby tiger for maybe 5 seconds? haha . . but well worth for a memory. . .
To end our 5days 4 nights trip in Chiang Mai, what not better to do than a MASSAGE session !
So all, the farewell trip for Peter and his colleagues.. to continue P&A journey in
