Phuket Crocodile World Crocodile Farm (Phuket Crocodile World )

The Crocodile Farm in Phuket is a place where the Thais have masterfully combined a museum, a terrarium, a store and a restaurant. Not many people would think of making an attraction out of a pig or cow farm.

But the crocodile is exotic. Many people find the Phuket farm unique and unusual. If you are a supporter of animal protection, and do not like to visit fur farms, then it is better to refrain from the excursion to this place.

Museum

The entertainment begins with a small exhibition on the role of crocodiles in the life of mankind. They are one of the oldest creatures on the planet, living back in the time of the dinosaurs, when there were not even birds, let alone mammals. In ancient human cultures, these reptiles had a separate role to play.

The Egyptians embalmed crocodile carcasses and placed them in special necropolises. The Egyptians embalmed crocodile carcasses and placed them in special necropolises. The main exhibits of the museum are stuffed and mummified crocodiles, copies of cave paintings.

Crocodile feeding attraction

After the cultural part, guests are invited to look at a crocodile flock of about 200 individuals. The reptiles show no interest in what is going on, basking sleepily in the sun or just as sleepily swimming in the water. To keep things interesting, guests are invited to take part in the attraction of feeding live crocodiles with chicken meat.

It is absolutely safe.

The animals jump for pieces of food, delighting visitors, especially children.

Live Crocodile Show

After actively interacting with the crocodiles through feeding, visitors have the opportunity to watch as the courageous Thais pull the reptiles' tails; wrap their arms around their bellies, lift and flip them; and put their body parts in their mouths.

The high point of the show is, of course, the extreme act of putting the trainer's head in the teeth of a crocodile. It's still risky, but that's what attracts circus fans. The duration of the show is 20 minutes.

Wallets and purses

After watching the live reptiles having fun with the trainers, visitors go to the large store for which the crocodile farm exists. There is a production facility, which includes all stages of processing hides, dressing the skin and making products out of it. Not only crocodile skins, but also snakes (a farm for raising them is located nearby), stingrays, sharks and ostriches.

The store sells a wide range of products: belts, bags, briefcases, shoes, jackets, jackets, purses, key chains, covers, key chains, eyewear, lanyards, bracelets, jewelry. Also here you can buy medical products and cosmetics made from blood and bile crocodiles. All this helps people to treat existing diseases more effectively than chemical preparations. The representatives of the farm promise that lotions and oils based on crocodile fat keep the skin young.

The prices for everything are very attractive. Many things can be purchased at a discount. The only nuance is that there are no price tags, and visitors often note that vendors quote any price, depending on who shows interest. The quality is good. But in terms of design, the leather goods sold in the store could be better.

Crocodile lunch

After visitors purchase wallets and boots made of genuine crocodile skin, everyone is given the opportunity to dine on reptile meat at a local restaurant. Crocodile dishes are delicious. Many people compare crocodile meat to chicken meat. In reality, it looks more like snake meat. And this is another surprise for those who love all things exotic. A big plus of dining at the farm is that you can have no doubt in the freshness and sustainability of the meat cooked: the crocodile has recently basked in the sun.
