Samut
Prakan
Crocodile
Farm
and
Zoo
I
visited
this
Zoo
many
times
while
living
in
Samrong,
Samut
Prakan.
It’s
a
great
day
out
and
so
much
to
see
here.
Founded
in
1950
by
the
famous
Crocodile
King
,
Mr.
Utai
Youngprapakorn,
this
is
the
country’s
first
crocodile
farm
and
the
world’s
largest
crocodile
farm
with
varied
types
of
more
than
60,000
crocodiles
living
here.
Mr.
Utai
has
been
the
pioneer
not
only
to
preserve
the
endangered
species
from
extinction,
but
also
to
provide
a
continuing
flow
of
Crocodile
skins
and
related
products
to
the
world
market.
Here
at
Samut
Prakan
Crocodile
Farm
&
Zoo,
they
are
dedicated
to
the
education,
preservation,
research
and
the
conversation
of
wildlife.
Convenient
to
reach
as
it’s
located
in
Tambon
Tai
Ban
or
three

The

feature
the

hands,
which
take
place
every

and
crocodile

chimpanzees,

and

of
fishes.

definitely
