Hello everyone 🌸
Today, I woke up in a fantastic mood, greeted by the song of beautiful Thai birds, a bright blue sky, and warm sunshine—perfect for a day out! 😋
Some time ago, we visited a lovely place that was truly different from the usual sights in Phuket🇹🇭. It felt like a great park filled with all kinds of adorable animals, each one cuter than the last, set against a gorgeous natural landscape. Since we only had time to explore half of it that day, I think it’s time to make up for that missed experience.
So, I didn’t hesitate to invite my husband and youngest son for a full day at the Rabbit Hole @ Phuket, located in Pa Klok—a less touristy area often enjoyed by locals. It’s a quick drive, just 9 kilometers from my house on the way to the airport. Set in a peaceful valley surrounded by trees and mountains, the park offers a cool escape from the heat, with all sorts of animals, both on land and in the water, plus a great café and restaurant.
The Rabbit Hole is an ideal spot for families, especially those with young children. It’s open daily from 10 AM to 8 PM. So, what are we waiting for? Let’s head off for a delightful day out—I’ll be your guide! 🐰🌿
The entrance to the Rabbit Hole is modest, with a small souvenir shop that gives no hint of the place’s real size. It’s simply presented as a Rabbit Café & Restaurant, but it holds so much more inside!
In the souvenir shop, you can buy small food packs for 20 Baht (around $0.60) to feed the animals—this is the only food allowed for them! Entrance to the first section, which is essentially a charming farm animal park, is free, while access to the second part requires a small entrance fee.
Once inside, a beautifully elegant horse greets you. There are a few horses around the park, including ponies. For my youngest son, it was a special moment—he’d never seen a horse in person before, and he was both charmed and impressed by its size. 🐴✨
The first stop in the park is an incredible Koi pond with a small, enchanting waterfall that creates a magical atmosphere.
The Koi is a colorful, ornamental fish originating from Japan, known for its striking patterns and symbolic meanings. These fish represent strength and perseverance, often thriving in peaceful, serene ponds.
My son was thrilled, as he has such a gentle heart and a true love for animals. It brings me so much joy to see him connect with nature this way. Naturally, we stocked up on food packs at the entrance so he could feed the animals throughout the day.
The park is beautifully decorated, with charming details that create a magical atmosphere. 🏡 Poultry roam freely around, adding to the rustic feel, while one part of the park resembles a Hobbit house straight out of a storybook! Honestly, it felt like we’d stepped into a fairytale village, and I couldn’t help but imagine a Hobbit popping out to greet us! 555! 🐔🌿
As you might have guessed, there’s a reason it’s called the Rabbit Hole—555! 🐰 Aside from the chance to cuddle with rabbits in the air-conditioned café area, there’s also an open-air rabbit enclosure that looks like a miniature Hobbit village!
My youngest son couldn’t resist for long—he was drawn straight to the enclosure to feed the rabbits. Watching him delight in these gentle creatures was priceless.
After the chickens, ducks, and rabbits, it was the goats' turn to capture my young son's curiosity. 🐐 He eagerly made his way over to visit them, fascinated by their playful personalities and gentle nature. Watching him interact with each animal, one after another, was heartwarming—it was clear he was having the time of his life!
As I mentioned earlier, there are a few horses and ponies in the park. 🐴
Right next to the café and restaurant, visitors can enjoy a ride through this beautiful landscape, with options ranging from a 15-minute ride to a full hour-long adventure. For those who prefer a more relaxed experience, there’s also a charming carriage ride available, perfect for soaking in the scenery at a leisurely pace. And, of course, you can take plenty of photos to capture the moment! 📸
There’s no doubt about it—this park really has everything you could want for a perfect day out!
If you’ve read my post 🌸 A Lotus Flower at Ma Doo Bua Café 📸, you’ll already know my two food lovers—my husband and my youngest son! So, of course, the moment they spotted the restaurant, their stomachs immediately made their presence known, just to make sure we didn’t forget about them! 😂
The food was absolutely delicious, and the presentation was stunning! We decided to treat ourselves with some beautifully prepared dishes, including Crispy Pork with Chinese Kale Salad and Fried Salmon. The edible flowers added a lovely, colorful touch to each plate, making the meal feel even more special. 🌸🍽️
The combination of flavors was fantastic, with the crispy pork perfectly balanced by the fresh greens, and the salmon adding a light, savory taste to the mix. It was one of those meals where you just have to pause and appreciate each bite. 😋
One great perk of eating at the restaurant was that it gave us free access to the second part of the park, having eaten for more than the 1,000 baht (about $30) required.
This second section of the park has fewer animals and focuses more on lush plant life, creating a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. It’s also where you’ll find the zipline, adding a touch of adventure for those looking to get an adrenaline rush amidst the greenery. 🌿🌳
This second section of the park has fewer animals and focuses more on lush plant life, creating a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere. It’s also where you’ll find a large pond where you can go pedal boating, along with giant swings (not for the faint-hearted—555!) and even a zipline for a bit of thrill. 🌿🌳
The artistic work in this second part of the park is absolutely breathtaking! 🌿✨ Sculptures covered in greenery and adorned with flowers bring a unique, magical touch to the surroundings, making the experience feel even more enchanting. And believe me, I’m not showing you everything! Between my husband and me, we easily took over 1,000 photos at the Rabbit Hole! 📸
It’s truly a place where nature and art blend seamlessly, creating a whimsical and unforgettable atmosphere.
The zipline shop is perfectly nestled at the base of the trail, blending seamlessly into the lush surroundings with its charming, A-frame architecture. 🌿🏡 It almost feels like part of the forest itself! The team working here was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure everyone felt welcome and comfortable before their zipline adventure. Their warm smiles and helpful attitude added a special touch to the experience. 😊
The zipline spans an impressive distance, stretching from nearly the back of this second part of the park all the way to the area behind the restaurant, ending near the start of the pedal boat pond. 🌳✨ It’s a thrilling ride that lets you take in the beauty of the surroundings from above—a perfect mix of excitement and scenic views!
Let’s not forget the giant swings at the far end of the park! 🌳 These swings are part of an elevated suspension bridge circuit, which offers a fantastic panoramic view of the surroundings. Walking along the bridge feels like an adventure in itself, with lush greenery below and a refreshing sense of height. The whole setup is perfect for those who enjoy a little thrill with a view! 🌄🌿
And if you’re feeling a bit tired or just want to take some unique photos, there are plenty of cozy spots scattered throughout this second part of the park. 🌿📸 Each little resting area is thoughtfully placed, offering both comfort and beautiful backdrops for some memorable shots.
As the day began to wind down, we could feel it in our legs—tired but happy, 555! 😄 It was time to make our way back, crossing to the other side of the pond and heading toward the entrance.
What a beautiful day we had at the Rabbit Hole! From adorable animals to enchanting landscapes and fun activities, we left with hearts full of joy and wonderful memories. And, of course, I didn’t spoil everything! There’s still so much more to discover—majestic peacocks, buffalo, Muscovy ducks, and other animals. Not to mention the stunning plant sculptures and cozy little spots hidden throughout the park. 🦚🐃🌸
If this post gave you a glimpse of the magic of the Rabbit Hole, remember that there’s still so much to see. So, next time you’re in Phuket, be sure to dive into this enchanting place and create your own adventure! Thank you for joining me on this journey. Until the next adventure—stay curious, stay joyful, and I’ll see you in the next post! 🌿🐰
