This place is possibly one of the crulest places on earth! You only have to visit this website http://www.monkeyworld.org/ to find out why. The orangutans were all young animals and there were no adults in site. Two of the orangutans were being used for photography with the public and at least 8 more were found in a storage area behind the zoo ...
This was my first time coming here. I have to say that I am glad to be Thai, cause I only paid 60 thb compared to 300 thb for tourist, and that is where the line is drawn. First of 300 thb is way overpiced, the most I would pay is 100 thb, the place is old and very dirty.
Most of the animals seems to be starving, and have no room to move. It ...

See variety in short time

I am an American living in Bangkok and have visited this Crocodile farm two different times. On the good side of things, you get to see a lot of interesting animals in a short amount of time. For very little money, my family could all feed hippos, elephants, monkeys, turtles, goats and crocodiles (my personal favorite). We enjoyed the elephant ...

Both Sides of the Line
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/18/06
First off, after reading all of the reviews I feel that there are many misunderstandings. I personally have been there several times and also to Gator and Croc Farms in the USA and I go to Thailand every year. So please let me clarify some stuff up. For example the "poor dog" from the most recent review was not just put in that cage with ...

Absolutely TERRIBLE
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/18/06
I visited in May and was completely saddened by the inhumane conditions. Elephants are tied up with no room to walk until their shows, where handlers use bullhooks and punch them. Tigers and panthers are drugged up. Sick dogs were put into a cage with a tiger that seemed to be dying itself. Monkeys were also abused.
To think that those animals ...

animal cruelty incarnate
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/31/06
I visited this park not out of choice, but because our boat driver dropped us off at this awful tourist trap. A tiger in the tiniest of enclosures, which from its behaviour has clearly long given up; bears and a multitude of other animals all trapped behind bars, with no protection from the unforgiving sun and their cages in a state of filth. ...

Not my cup of tea
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/30/06
It is clear from the start this is a tourist set up. The animals don't look too happy, and tourists are being coached into buying food for the hungry animals. Leaves me with a nasty after taste, sorry. Initially my kids, 12 and 8, did not see it, and they were impressed. Till I explained a bit, then they understood this is not the way how ...

Fishing for Crocs
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/12/05
Best was buying (20 baht) a dead chicken and feeding the crocs with it. Fascinating to see with what speed and force they accept the little snack..

Sad and ashamed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/28/05
Going to this place will make you realize how we, humans, can awfully treat natural life and animals in order to make money. We went there with some friends, believing we would spend a nice time watching interesting shows and cute and healthy animals. Instead of this, we “enjoyed” terrible shows: the guys hit the crocodile which are completely ...
