My Wife's and My travels in Thailand
Samut Prakan Crocodile FarmWorlds largest Crocodile Farm and Home ofWorlds Largest Crocodile (Yai)During My first trip to Thailand Ning and I went to go see the largest crocodile farm in the world, Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm. It is just 10 km (7 miles) south of Bangkok. Here is their address if you would like to look them up if you are ever in Bangkok Thailand. Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo 555 Moo 7 Taiban Road Taiban Sub-District, Amphur Muang, Samutprakarn Bangkok, Thailand 10270 Phone +66 2 703 4891-5; 70 They are open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Admission: Adults THB300; children THB200 at the time of this writing. Crocodile Farm founded in 1950 by the famous Crocodile King, Mr. Utai Youngprapakorn. Mr. Utai has been the pioneer not only to preserve the endangered species form extinction, but also to provide a continuing flow of crocodile skins to the world market.
To the left here is just one of the 60,000 <> that they have in the farm. Shop for memories. Or even for crocodile leather or fish skin handbags, belts,shoes, and more.... The Croc shop means you can take it with you. The only thing I would check for first is if you will be aloud to bring back in the USA any animal skins or not. I think but do not quote me on this but you will not be aloud to here in the USA.
Here is a picture of a few more crocodiles sunning themselves. At one point Ning got to talking with one of the Crocodile keepers while we were on one of the bridges over the crocodile waters and he made a call as they do to feed them and before you know it the waters below were filled with crocodiles.
My time spent at Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo was a very interesting time. I would recommend it if you ever get the chance to go.
