Question

Where in Phuket can you see insects in a zoo?

Insider's Response

A rather unusual request, since in Thailand insects are more often eaten than looked at. Just kidding (but maybe not).

There are no dedicated insect terrariums in Phuket’s zoos. However, terrariums with insects can be found at the Aquaria Phuket aquarium. And with us, visiting will be cheaper! You can purchase discounted tickets to Aquaria Phuket from us via Whatsapp or Telegram. On the second floor of the aquarium live snakes, salamanders, frogs, spiders, lizards, and beetles.

Fans of exotic animals will also be interested in visiting the Kathu Cobra Show, Snake Farm and the Nak Snake Farm & Show, where you can get a closer look at snakes and watch a spectacular show. There you can also learn a lot about different species of snakes, about medicines produced from snake venom (and buy them), and with non-venomous species you can take fun photos.

And if you still want to actually try insects, you will find such delicacies at the night markets. Read our article Fried Insects: Exclusive Delicacy or Daring Experience? and perhaps it will interest you.

But if you still prefer cute animals, check the Zoo Parks section, as well as the Elephants section, where you can interact with gentle giants in ethical sanctuaries.
