Thai zoo re-opens for visitors to view rare pandas

A zoo in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand reopened its panda exhibit area on Saturday (August 7) after shutting down for seven months for renovation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The area has been closed since January this year due amid government restrictions for the coronavirus so staff took the chance to repair the roof, adjust the landscape within the exhibition area and to install a glass partition between visitors and the panda.
