They are indeed! We were at this Open Zoo and just before we were about to take the car to the next section they started howling and so Becca had to take a video. We love to see them swinging around with their long arms! 🐒

I had never heard of the Open Zoo before reading your post. @suitcasemama and I should check it out!

You should! It's about two hours outside of Bangkok towards Pattaya. Its just after Chonburi. We found that some enclosure were poorly maintained and needed more care and space, so would give this place 3.5 out of 5. That's a generous review too.

Good to know! We've only been to a couple of national parks (where we saw gibbons too) and the Bangkok Zoo, which is actually pretty well done...

Ah really, heard from a few people including Sam's sister that the Bangkok Zoo (Dusit area) is quite small for the animals in there. But maybe it had refurbishment since she's been there.
All the national parks in Thailand are great, but it's a shame they charge a big difference for tourists. Which deters us going regularly.

I think we enjoyed the zoo because our expextations were so low :)
