Visit Dusit Zoo for "7 amazing things"

       Like to see as rare an animal as a beautiful langur baby? Heas to Bangkok's Dusit Zoo.
       The colourful douc langurcub was delivered on June 18, but its gender is yet to be identified.
       Douc langurs are on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Animals. They have five colours- grey, dark grey, white, yellow and reddish brown.
       The zoo is home to 32 douc langurs, including the newborn. Each is worth more than Bt10 million.
       Douc langurs are one of the zoo's seven amazing things, so if you visit the langurs, it's recommended that you take a look at other highlights as well.
       The last herd of Thai browantlered deer is found only at the zoo now. And the only Albino common barking deer in the world also dwells there.
       If you don't have enough money or time to visit the most-popular giant panda family in Chiang Mai, you can get up close with other kinds of pandas-the only pair of red pandas in Thailand can be seen at the Dusit Zoo.
       A historical teak tree has also been grown in the zoo. It was presented by King Rama V to Prince Valdimar of Denmark to boost bilateral relations. A stone inscription was also presented to the prince to mark his visit.
       Another historical learning area is the "World War II Air Raid Shelter". And any visitor to the zoo should not miss the magnificent Ananda Samakhom Throne Hall.

       The Princess gently held the 6,035-gram cub in her arms, while the curious Prince lightly patted by the princess. The Princess commented that the cub was very cute and and it was a good opportunity for her to hold the cub.

The Princess and her son also visited Chuang Chuang in the panda display section for 15 minutes and gave it a bunch of fruits before they proceeded to see the Snow Dome, the aquarium and the koala section.
