About this audio guide
This guide to Safari World in Bangkok examines two sides of the same address: a four-hundred-eighty-acre drive-through safari and marine park that opened in 1988, and a hidden orangutan boxing show trained through beatings, food deprivation and electric shocks. It follows Jim and Alison Cronin, English sanctuary founders who pushed for international pressure over what was happening behind the smiling facade. Expect a visit that complicates as much as it entertains.
