Excursion This is the first of a few excursions you can do around Pattaya. If you leave in the morning, we advice you to start with the open zoo, one of the larger in the world with a huge aviary. You will find it on your right when traveling to Chonburi on the new highway (take Sukhumvit direction Bangkok till the road to Rayong and follow this road till you reach the large exchange with the highway to Chonburi. After 15 kilometers you should turn right for the Zoo). After visiting the zoo, or if you start your excursion in the afternoon, move to the "Tigers Zoo" where you can easily stay 2 hours and even more. |

Sriracha is a small town 20 Km north of Pattaya (direction: Bangkok) on Sukhumvit Road. When reaching the town, drive through the 2 crossings with lights and 500 meters farther turn |
| left on a large avenue. Go straight and through a huge
white gate topped by a clock, till you reach the island of Koh Loi Srimaharaja. This
island is almost only a rock with a Wat build on the top. A path has been design to allow
you to walk around the island close to the sea. . |
|
On your left before the feet of the rock, you will find a small sea turtles open-zoo. The entrance is free and the kids enjoy to observe the turtles and to feed them with squibs. . To explore the island and the turtles zoo count on 30-45 minutes |
