Away from the shopping malls and street food stalls that crowd our daily lives is the Thailand less travelled.
The Siamese natural world is full of wonders to behold — and one such wonder is the thriving animal kingdom that populates every corner of the Kingdom, from the bowels of Yala to the tip of Chiang Rai.
Huge Asian elephants walk among troves of the tiniest spiders, squirrels and snakes, while the rarest of birds roam the skies (along with the occasional pigeon). If you’re a big cat enthusiast, a twitcher or just an all-round animal appreciator, it’s safe to say that you’ll find paradise in Thailand.
Whether you’re in one of the Kingdom’s 127 national parks, or even just looking out of your office window in Bangkok to the parks below, animals are all around us
To celebrate the diversity and beauty of Thailand’s animal kingdom, we’ve compiled a photo gallery of the most splendid animal photos published on the web.
Enjoy…
