People Are Now Traveling to Thailand Just to See Moo Deng

Moo Deng has become a global phenomenon. While most people’s obsession will stay on social media, some have decided to take their love all the way to the zoo where she’s housed — and the people of Thailand are kind of surprised.

In this video, a woman recounts how the border agent was shocked that she even knew who Moo Deng was, let alone that she was traveling to the country to see just the hippo and not, I don’t know, its incredible historic wonders.

Do you want to visit Moo Deng? Well, tough shit. Although this TikToker managed to travel all the way from New York to Thailand just to see the little hippo, locals are advising that one should potentially reconsider their Moo Deng travel, as “people are queuing at 5 a.m. to buy tickets, the traffic is horrible and you get to see her for only five minutes,” per a Reddit comment.
