Do not waste your time or money coming here. It is an absolute dump with a tiny collection of miserable looking snakes, a tragic mongoose, and a crocodile in a disgraceful pen. The snake show went for about 20 minutes in which some cobras and a python are basically tormented by the handler and I felt it was quite cruel.... More

A really great show and especially entertaining for the kids as the showmen involved all of us.

We booked through our resort ad paid 800 bht including transportation. The show was about 20 minutes just 1 man kissing and interacting with snakes. The brochure said the show was 1 hour--not even close. The zoo was 1 crocodile, 1 mongoose and lots of dirty tanks with a few snakes-most were dead. It was a terrible waste of money... More

We looked up the address, and drove ourselves there on the Scooter. It was so much fun just looking for the place! We got there and were a little thrown off, very like - strange in a way that you're thinking, where do I go to pay....where is the show? Don't worry, the show starts - and for 300baht per... More

We arrived the day after they'd moved across the road and what was previously described as run down is now not built! All that was in place was the crocodile enclosure. However the show was fantastic - lots of fun and amazing feats - children quiet and adults screaming. Definitely an experience we won't forget!

Although some the animals in cages didn't look too happy, the show they put on for us was great with cobras n scorpions! Held a Burmese python n pet a cobra n saw a few more animals in enclosures. Authentically Thailand definitely worth the trip! But watch out if u dont like snakes...

For 300 THB for an adult and located in the south, while we were around for a spa treatment in a nearby hotel, we decided to have a look at this show. I cant say that it was a great experience. For sure, you shouldnt be scared of snakes coming here. A man trying to kiss a black cobra is... More

Run down establishment. Very quiet with only my family there for our show. 300 baht for Adults and 200 for children The cobra, scorpion and python show were brilliant. Had me on the edge of my seat fearing for the handle'rs well being. Cobras were kissed and scorpions swallowed. It's interactive so if you have a genuine phobia don't sit... More

I am normally not into "animal" shows but this was definitely money well spent. The previous reviewers are spot on. One thing to mention is that they will put the snake right up to your face, so if you don't feel comfortable with this one you'd better sit in the second row. You could take great pictures here!
