Lonely Planet review for Chiang Mai Zoo
At the foot of Doi Suthep, the Chiang Mai Zoo occupies a lush park setting and boasts a fairly comprehensive assortment of animals plus two special attractions (pandas and an aquarium) that require separate admission fees. The aquarium reportedly has Asia's longest viewing tunnel (measuring 113m) and replicates the water environments of Thailand, from the northern rivers to the mangrove swamps and coastal oceans, as well as the Amazon basin.
Except for the baby elephant on a walkway for entertainment of visitors (with leg chained, which was disturbing) and some animals obviously in distress (ie walking around in circles) in their concrete enclosures, most animals seem fairly well treated here.
The zoo also has a parking garage that costs 10B for motorcycles and bicycles and 50B for cars or trucks.

If you like the zoo, it's also worth checking out Dokmai Gardens! This garden displays 120 different edible fruit plants, 127 different vegetables, in total more than 750 vascular plants.I found the information very useful & the guided tour was fun!
