An early Happy Birthday to Moo Deng!
Bouncing into the world on July 10 2024, this spring-loaded girl is gearing up for a four-day celebration from July 10-13.
Khao Kheow Open Zoo will mark the occasion with candles on a special gigantic cake for our beloved baby hippo.
The celebration includes free entry for children under 12, an exclusive auction of Moo Deng’s personal belongings (with every baht going to sustainable animal care), photo galleries, merchandise and parades all celebrating Moo Deng.
Who could have predicted that Thailand would find soft power in a baby hippo with pink chubby cheeks? A slippery bounce here and a squeal there and suddenly Thailand’s Chonburi is on the global map.
