With the slowdown of the novel coronavirus epidemic, Thailand has canceled its curfew order and lifted lockdowns in the cities. The Green Mountain Zoo in Chon Buri reopened on June 15 after a three-month lockdown and attracted many tourists. Some children said delightedly,: “My happiness is regained!”

The Chieng Mai Zoo in Thailand and five other zoos will be free to visitors but registration in advance is needed, as parties of no more than nine people can go into the zoo.

Each zoo can only received 2,000 visitors each day. Sixty-four zoos in the nation reopened to the public on July 1.

The Green Mountain Zoo is a public protection area with more than 300 species and 8,000 kinds of animals. With the worsening of COVID-19 in the midst of March, the zoo closed, as did other zoos in Thailand.

During the closure, animals rested and at the same time workers repaired and cleaned zoo facilities, making preparations for eventual reopening. The zoo also produced a live show, Zoo to Your Home . After the zoo reopened, the live show is being broadcast once a week.

Stepping into the zoo, a line of electric mobile bikes is placed on the roadside for visitors. Workers said riding them is a new way of touring the zoo, which is effective for reducing contact with people and animals, ensuring the joy of the visit and people’s safety, as well.

Safety notices can be seen everywhere in the zoo, and at the entry of every stadium, disinfectant is provided for visitors.

According to the regulations, to prevent cluster infections, many new measures are taken, including no air-conditioning service and no enclosure space provided.

In addition to zoos, restrictions on schools, nurseries, nursing homes, stadiums, parks, beaches, amusement parks, water parks, children's parks, concerts and musical performances were also lifted. With the exception of high-risk venues, such as bars, nightclubs and karaoke bars, most of the country's venues have reopened.
