Chiang Mai Night Safari is one of the city's most popular nighttime attractions, and this video puts it to the test. Dave and Kim hop on the night tram to get close to the animals, feed some remarkably friendly giraffes, wander the after-dark walking trails, and share honest thoughts on whether the Night Safari is worth your time.
A Classic Chiang Mai Night Out
The Night Safari mixes wildlife encounters, tram rides, and those wonderfully random moments you only get in Thailand. It is one of Chiang Mai's signature evening attractions, and Dave and Kim dive in with their usual approach: keep it real, share the fun and the surprises, and report back on what travelers, expats, and semi-retirees should expect.
The Night Tram
The centerpiece is the night tram, which rolls through the park after dark and gets visitors really close to the animals. Seeing wildlife at night changes the experience completely compared with a daytime zoo visit, and the tram format makes it easy for all ages and fitness levels to enjoy.
Feeding the Giraffes
A highlight of the visit is feeding some of the friendliest giraffes you will ever meet. It is the kind of up-close encounter that tends to become the story people tell about their Chiang Mai trip, and the video captures the moment with the couple's trademark good humor, including a few did-that-just-happen surprises.
Is It Worth It?
The walking trails reveal what comes alive after dark, rounding out the visit beyond the tram. Most importantly, the couple shares honest thoughts on whether the Night Safari deserves a slot in a Chiang Mai itinerary, making this a practical watch for anyone planning things to do in Chiang Mai at night.
