The park was established as a private initiative to complement the existing Bonanza Khao Yai resort facilities.
The geography of the park is defined by its location at the foot of the Khao Yai mountain range, providing a distinct microclimate compared to lowland Thailand.
The facility maintains a specialized section for rare color variations, such as white lions and white tigers.
It is one of the few locations in the region that integrates wildlife viewing with expansive luxury resort infrastructure.
The Bonanza Exotic Park is an expansive animal facility situated within the Bonanza Khao Yai complex in the Pak Chong district. The park is designed as an open-air enclosure layout rather than traditional confined zoo cages. Visitors move through a landscaped environment that houses species including white tigers, giraffes, zebras, and various species of antelope. A primary feature is the interactive petting zoo area where visitors can feed animals like rabbits, miniature horses, and sheep. The park emphasizes educational interaction by allowing close-proximity observation of wildlife in a mountain-adjacent setting. It operates as part of the broader Bonanza resort development, integrated into the hilly topography of Nakhon Ratchasima. The site utilizes a pedestrian-friendly path system that facilitates a loop through various animal zones.
The raised wooden walkway overlooking the giraffe and zebra enclosures provides the best unobstructed sightlines.
Bring a hat and sunscreen, as the majority of the walking paths lack overhead canopy cover.
Purchase the animal feed sold at the park entrance, as outside food is prohibited for animal safety.
Visit during the weekdays to avoid high volume crowds from Bangkok weekend travelers.
Do not attempt to feed animals with food brought from outside the park, as this disrupts strict nutritional monitoring protocols.
Avoid shouting or sudden movements near enclosures to prevent animal stress; do not cross safety barriers.
