Dear Aunty Rose,
Aunty must has had a wonderful time in Bangkok. A few years ago dad’s Thai friend living in the USA made a stop in KL on their way back to Bangkok and coax us to join them. I wish that I can coax dad to visit Bangkok…Mum had visited Bangkok in her younger days. They drove all the way to Bangkok in three cars together with atuk’s close friend from Kelantan and his family- visiting many beautiful places along the way.
Mum also visited the floating market. What mum love most about Bangkok are their food and fruits- atuk has a lot of Muslim friends over there.
Thanks for sharing the experience!

Hey ,Bangkok Safari is really awesome especially for kids like you and siblings.They have many well kept wild and tame.ANimals are almost accessible to the public.The places are well packed with local and tourists.I would recommend your family & will try to coax (lol) your dad to go to BKK and visit this place.The market on the river is another attraction, have you seen sampans used to ferry local veges and fruits and transaction takes place on the sampan in the river (again this is man made small river which looks like a canal to me)I guess this place is made for tourists something different Thais to offer.Thailand is really a place to visit, every ten thais on the street they would be a couple of Mat Salleh.Foods of all kind is cheap.They even sell fried crickets and grasshoppers.The Thais are really polite and their hospitality and customer services are their utmost attraction for tourists.Oh dear looks like im promoting Thailand.haha.Catch with you soon, Aiman.

Hi Amani,Salam Ramadan to you & family,
Bangkok Zoo/Safari is in Bangkok.I dont remember where its located.But it gives an awesome view and a sureal experience of the wild and tame.My family and i first went to watch the dolphin show which lasted for half an hour .It gave a truly entertaining show for the dolphins enjoyed themselves haha.We went for a short excursion to the river(man made small canal which is pretty safe).Through out the ride we encountered many animals such as croc,orang utan,snake slithering on big branch of tree just below you in replicas!lol.The boat ride some time took us in rough water otherwise you can feel spray of water splashed onto u.Our safari trip ended in the safari itself which is in a big land area.We have to be driven in a small bus caged up.So it looks like we are being caged instead of the wild hahah. From our mini bus we could see a couple of ziraffa,a forlon lion (lol) and tigers in close shot.They were actually oblivious to our presence though.But to us it was all different from our other zoo trips.

As I wrote before I think the fee is affordable but not the entrance fee for KLCC Aquaria which is too high for Malaysian general public. Is it true that there are talks about relocating the zoo?
I was laughing reading about the cage that you saw in the Atlanta Zoo-how true…which is why I am worry if they move the Zoo Negara. Just imagine what will happen to the beautiful grand trees.

We should not complain too much for the entrance fee. It is our contribution to the maintaining of the zoo and may be the survival of certain species of animals.

I agree with you when you said that some buildings in the zoo are dilapidated. The government as well as rich companies should contribute their earnings by helping the zoo to improve the facilities there.

Still remember the time when we visited Atlanta zoo a couple of years back. In an empty snake cage there was a big mirror whereby you could see yourself standing in front of it. On top of the mirror there are these wordings: YOU ARE WATCHING THE MOST POISONOUS OF THEM ALL – HUMAN BEINGS!”

Dear Green Malay,

Assalamualaikum Amani…

I agree with you regarding the survival of our National Zoo…I went there twice this year to bring my little daughter Amaaneey and after that went again as a tourist guide to my brother and his family from Teranung….

But, if you have the opportunity, visiting Johor Zoo will bring you another experience…so many animals there, but most of them are at their golden age I guess…pity them…and you know what? The entry fee is only RM3 per person for an adult.

Happy Ramadhan Amani…lets conserve our environment!!!
