History

The Chiang Mai Night Safari was envisioned by Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. He had a vision for starting up a nocturnal zoo, due to wanting to have a quality and popular tourist attraction, like that which was achieved by the Night Safari in Singapore and also had become world-famous. Once the Prime Minister had this vision, he had brought it to the attention of Kosin Ketthong, the Governor of Chiang Mai at the time in order to find an appropriate place to start building. There were many places proposed, such as the forest areas of the Doi Saket District, but eventually, they settled upon an area at the foot of Doi Suthep, being the most ideal area which was located in the sub-district of Mae Hia, Chiang Mai. It was also in the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park area, having a terrain that was better than Singapore.

The Prime Minister received approval No.90/2545 on the 25th of March 2002 and started a Chiang Mai Night Zoo Establishment Study Committee and Related Activities for Tourism Promotion. A resolution was passed through the cabinet on 28 October 2003. They received approval for the budget of the "Chiang Mai Night Safari" project in the amount of 1,155.9 million baht distributed to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation in order to start construction.

On 9 September 2004, the government was granted order number 224/2547 in order to start the Chiang Mai Night Safari Administration Office, with Prodprasob Surasawadee as its director, and having the Chiang Mai Night Safari as an institute under the Special Area Development for Sustainable Tourism.

On 14 April 2019, the government under Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has a resolved to dissolve the Pinkanakorn Development Agency that supervises and manage Chiang Mai Night Safari and turn the command to the Zoological Park Organization under Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.[5][6]
