The Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo, which is situated about 10 kilometers south of Bangkok, has the world’s largest collection of crocodiles numbering over 30,000 with over 50,000 reptiles in total.
The Bangkok crocodile farm and elephant show also exhibit trained tigers, chimpanzees and elephants. It is a great way to be up close and personal with these amazing creatures.
One of the main two exhibits of the crocodile zoo Bangkok is the crocodile wrestling shows and the acrobatic elephant shows, which are staged seven times daily, both provide great photo opportunities.
Unique souvenirs such as crocodile handbags, purses, and belts are available to be purchased plus you can also dine on real crocodile meat as well. The Samut Prakan crocodile farm price is included in all tours from Bangkok.
Be sure to also view one of their latest attractions, the Dinosaur Museum, where the past comes to life. At this museum, you will see the world’s largest captive crocodile that measures 6 meters and weighs over 1115 kilograms.
How to get to Samutprakarn crocodile farm and zoo:
If visiting the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo, why not include a visit to The Replica Ancient City which is very close by. A half day at each would be adequate. Personally, I would recommend a private car and driver for the day which is what I did when visiting both locations.
Would I visit here again?
Only if showing around friends and family.

Dave, Thailand people are doing a great job! As concerning the elephant acrobat and training, I’ve seen that in a movie titled “Bangkok*. Thanks for sharing but I can’t play with a crocodile!
I’ve never been to an actual crocodile farm before. This looks like a really cool place to visit, might think about doing it should I visit Thailand some day again.
Isn’t this dangerous? I mean for all we know, crocodiles are very dangerous predators.
The Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo is an awesome place to visit. What got my eyes is the crocodile wrestling show and elephant acrobatic show. Wouldn’t want to miss shows like this.
Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo Bangkok Thailand is gonna be a place to really enjoy once excursion to zoo. From the looks on the pictures, I am already in love with the zoo and its lovely trained creatures it accommodates. Thanks for this post.
The attractions look very interesting, though I can’t imagine being so close to a crocodile. I definitely would love to see the elephants spectacle.
We have a version of this here as well. Not as grand as Thailand but it is enough to be a crocodile farm/ If it was me though, they should be in the wild and not on some man made home. Just my opinion.
Zoos are one place that triggers something special in me especifically if I’m viewing rare creatures. We also have our crocodile zoo here where it is no festivity like in Thailand.
The elephant show looks like something I could really enjoy. I have to visit Thailand some day.
I’m surprised the handlers are not afraid of the crocodiles at all. This is very impressive.
The hippos look great. I would take so many photos of them.
I have never seen so many crocodiles in one place. This is amazing indeed!
This is a great way to ensure that these rare species of animals don’t get extinct. I fully support this.
