Crocodile Farm

[minime]

I made the most of my day off yesterday and went to Crocodile Farm. I highly recommended this park for a visit while you are on holiday here. You can get tickets via most Tour operators.

 

For a small entrance fee of 400 baht, you the chance to feed the crocodiles have and have your photos taken with them and other animals such as Elephants, Tiger or a Bear. (Additional small fee required). They also have a show every 1 hour (I think), and some man will play with the crocodiles.

 

If you are here with the family – it great for the kids. You can also feed the elephants and they kiss you back for feeding them!

 

I personally loved spending the 2 or 3 hours feeding the chickens to the crocodiles. I wish I could of taken one home with me!!!!!

I was there before and I enjoyed feeding the crocs. It felt kinda strange being so close to them, I kept thinking how many seconds would I last if I had fell in. A good place to pass a few hours.

Ive been there a few times and its a great day out. The last time we even got to hatch a baby croc from its egg. (which cost an extra 200bht)

Glad you had a good time buddy.

 

On the contrary DO NOT GO TO THE CROCODILE / SNAKE FARM IN BANGKOK. I went there and the welfare of the animals was absolutely horrendous, so bad I felt physically sick.

Just try the open zoo north of the Tiger farm on the BKK highway

 

Nice white tigers, lots of other animal, quiet djungle setting, and not such a rip off. If you dont have transport, bus to Sri Racha and then on with tuktuk.

I like elephants. It never ceases to amaze me how such large critters can be so docile around humans.... 99.999% of the time. Lets face it, if we pissed them off how hard would it be to wrap it's trunk around you and use you as a battering ram to soften the concrete!

Feeding the crocs is a lot of fun. I got some funny video because you re standing there, wondering if its going to chomp down on it, then all of a sudden it jumps up and snaps down on it and everyone goes 'oh shit'

My Girl use to work in a Crocodile farm in Bangkok, She use to be the marksman to shoot them if one got any of the workers, And i know this to be true , she also used to clean the police guns. I dont leave guns about or let her go anywere near one.

the first croc show i ever saw was in thailand... wonder how they keep them so docile?

[retrodude]

I've been there too, quite a good day out.

 

It's worth going just to feed the crocs with the chicken on the poles, that was ace!

 

I couldn't believe how quick they move out the water, you wouldn't last more than a couple of seconds if you fell in.

[cebual]

What I found very interesting about the Crocodiles is that they never move.....they will leave their mouths wide open for an hour!....they are

very sedentary in their dalily life
