Giant Pandas are famous for being absolutely adorable and are an animal that tourists love to see. It’s well known that these remarkable animals originate from Asia, and they are under a vulnerable status, leaving tourists wondering, are there any in Thailand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, there is one Giant Panda in Thailand in the Chiang Mai Zoo. They used to have three pandas, but one passed away, and the other returned to China. Prehistoric Giant Pandas also populated Thailand’s forests in the past, as shown by fossils found in Lampang.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Related: Are There Bears In Thailand?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Giant Panda, scientifically known as Ailuropoda Melanoleuca<\/em>, is native to China. Still, during its evolution through the Ice Age<\/a>, prehistoric pandas populated an extensive area of Asia, including northern parts of Thailand. Due to evolutionary weather changes, the population declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the prehistoric pandas in low-laying areas disappeared and only survived in the more northern parts of Asia, where they evolved into the Giant Pandas we know today. Although the modern panda isn’t native to the country, they have a history in Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2003, two pandas got placed in the Chiang Mai Zoo as a loan from China. Their names were Lin Hui, a lady Giant Panda, and Chuang Chuang, a male. They had a baby panda in 2009 named Lin Bing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sadly, Chuang Chuang passed away in 2019 naturally due to a heart attack, even though China suspected mistreatment. Lin Bing moved back to China in 2013, after Thailand’s contract ended, and was rumored to return but has not to this day. Lin Hui remains in Thailand and recently turned 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWere There Pandas In Thailand In The Past?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
