Chiang Mai Night Safari

Modeled on Singapore's famous game park, the Chiang Mai Night Safari realized a long-held dream of Thaksin Shinnawatra, Thailand's prime minister until he was deposed in a 2006 coup. The 800-acre reserve on the edge of Doi Suthep-Pui National Park, 10 km (6 miles) from downtown Chiang Mai, has more than 100 species of wild animals, including tigers, leopards, jaguars, and elephants. For a thrill, board one of the special trams and tour the grounds after dark.
