Since originally Lop Buri was planned to be a weekend trip and there wasn't much to do when we got there we headed back to bkk the same night and I read about a crocodile farm that was near by when I got back so the next morning which was a Monday we had off for a Buddhist holiday I headed to Farm Joh Rai Kay (Crocodile Farm in Thai). We took a local air conditioned bus that was 24 baht (80 cents) for about an hour and a half and then hopped in a 8 baht taxi to get to the front door of the farm. The farm is located in Samut Prakan which is southeast of Bangkok and it is the largest crocodile farm in the world housing more than 100,000 crocodiles or so they say. There were crocodile shows, elephant shows, and an array of different animals there. So besides the crocodile part of the farm the rest was a pretty bad zoo. They also sold all kinds of crocodile products there meat, jewelery, leather handbags and wallets they found a way to use every part of a croc for profit. Being the biggest farm in the world they export the crocodiles all around the world as well as leather goods. It was definitely worth a visit because it was so close but I probably would not recommend this place to anyone unless they really enjoy seeing thousands of crocodiles just laying around.
I played with this monkey for a while, he was like a little baby
