Chiang Mai: Thousands of people have flocked to a zoo in northern Thailand for the first public viewing of a baby panda cub.
The cub was born six weeks ago and has been featured on local front pages almost every day since.
The panda's coming out party Saturday at the Chiang Mai Zoo includes a parade led by an orangutan.
Zoo officials stood beside the cub's incubator and tried to position her head so visitors streaming past could get a good look.
Thais have been captivated by the cub since her birth on May 27, which came after years of attempts to breed the rare mammal by the Chiang Mai Zoo.
