Hello everyone 👋

You are warmly invited to join our Tea
Warehouse Visit & Tea Tasting Experience.
During this visit, we will explore a tea warehouse run by a fourth-generation family tea business.

Their ancestor originally imported tea leaves from China, and the family has continued this tradition for generations. Today, they carefully blend imported Chinese tea leaves with locally sourced tea from Thailand to create their own unique varieties.
At the warehouse, tea leaves are packed and prepared before being distributed.

The host family will also share their story and heritage, giving us insight into how the business has grown and evolved over time.
Participants will learn about the history of tea, different types of tea, and the tea production process through a small exhibition and workshop demonstration.
During the experience, you will also have the opportunity to:

• Taste several varieties of tea
• Experience the aroma and characteristics of different tea leaves
• Try a special Shui Xian tea ice cream
• Watch and try the traditional tea packing method using paper folding

It will be a wonderful opportunity to discover the culture and craft behind tea while enjoying a relaxing and flavorful experience together.

Dear All,

Join us for a relaxed and fun city adventure as we visit Pata Zoo, the first and only zoo located inside a shopping mall in Thailand. Opened in 1983, this unique zoo offers a comfortable indoor experience, making it a great activity for animal lovers, families, and anyone looking for an easy and chill weekend plan.

We’ll explore the zoo together, meet various animals, enjoy live shows, take photos, and have a light walk in an air-conditioned space — no heat, no rush, just good vibes 🐾

📅 Date: Sunday, April 26, 2026
🕒 Time: 13:00 – 15:00
📍 Venue: PATA Zoo @ 6th - 7th Floor of Pata Pinklao
(800 M from Bang Yi Khan MRT Station)
💐 Entrance Fee: Thai 120 Baht/ Foreigner 300 Baht (Pay at the Zoo)

### ✨ Highlights

• See over 300 animal species in 5 different zones
• Meet “Bua Noi”, Thailand’s only gorilla
• Enjoy live performances: Magic Show & Exotic Animal Show 🎩🦜

### 🦍 About Bua Noi

Bua Noi arrived in Thailand from Germany in 1992, when she was around three years old, and has lived at Pata Zoo for over 30 years. In the past, the zoo had more than one gorilla, but today Bua Noi remains the only gorilla in Thailand.

Around that time, Thailand introduced strict regulations to protect endangered species, so no more gorillas have been imported into the country. Due to her long-term care in a managed environment and the absence of natural gorilla habitats in Thailand, long-term professional care in a controlled setting is considered the most suitable option for her wellbeing.

### 🌱 Conservation & Breeding Program

Pata Zoo actively supports breeding and conservation programs for endangered species, and works with other zoos through animal exchange programs for research, education, and species conservation. When suitable natural habitats are available, appropriate animals may be considered for release back into nature under professional guidelines.

If you’d like to join, please RSVP on Meetup to help us plan better.
Feel free to invite your friends and family to join this fun adventure!
Looking forward to seeing you all 🐾😊

Cheers,
