Dusit Zoo in Bangkok
Looking for some new places to visit on my next trip. Appreciate feedback on where it is, best way to get there (coming from lower sukhumvit), and nearby attractions.

The zoo is actually across the street from Vimanmek Mansion and the Ananta Samakorn Throne Hall where the Arts of the Kingdom exhibit is on display. The King's current residence, Chitrlada Palace is on the other side of the zoo. The entrance to the zoo (or the one I always see) faces the throne hall. Wat Benjamabophit (the Marble Temple) is also just around the corner.
You can reach the zoo either by taking a boat to the Tewet Pier and then grabbing a taxi or tuk-tuk, or by Skytrain to the Phyathai station, and then a taxi or tuk-tuk. Here's a simple map of the area:
