 Thailand plays host to a wide variety of snakes which makes it a treasure trove for herpetologists, or the curious. The most fearsome are the venomous kind, including various cobras, kraits and vipers, as well as the offshore dwelling sea snakes. If it sends shivers up your spine, it should be noted that most snakes find man rather unattractive too. It is a rare occurrence that a snake in Thailand will bite anyone. Most species will slither off when disturbed and would have to be cornered or feel under great duress to strike out at human bait - most humans don't let it come to that. However, here at the farm there are handlers who appear to dice with danger during the regular shows. At times you can admire these often shunned creatures at a safe distance, or get friendly with one of the harmless species. Maybe hang a reticulated python round your neck.

Thailand Tour Package 
Believe it or not, there is a fighter plane crashed into the side of the building containing the Ripley's World of Entertainment. The tail sticks out into the street whilst the cockpit can be seen from inside the Royal Garden Plaza. The Museum includes ten themed rooms, reflecting the lifelong pursuits of the late Robert Ripley. He travelled the world, clocking up visits to 198 different countries, in search of oddities from all corners of the globe. His findings are still continued today through the syndicated comic strip. You are invited to enter his world on passing through the first chamber, where his hologram greets you. A journey through the museum brings you face to face with unbelievable exhibits, amazing stories and optical illusions. The bizarre collection includes human skin masks, shrunken heads and instruments of torture. Mind what you do in front of the mirrors! 
Sri Racha Tiger Zoo opened its doors in 1997 and comprises over 100 acres of landscape. The star attraction here is the Bengal Tigers, over 200 of them and can be observed in spacious pens where they have a waterfall and pool to play in. Have your photograph taken feeding a tiger cub (they are seen being suckled by pigs, along with kittens and puppies). Crocodiles outnumber the tigers, over 100 000 of them - watch them hatching from their eggs. The crocs have a commercial value and are farmed for food and leather. Additionally there is a scorpion nest and several shows, which are played in rotation throughout the day including a croc wrestling match, racing pigs, bicycling bears, basketball elephants and a circus where the tigers perform their tricks. At the restaurant, the health conscious can sample delights such as crocodile tail soup and fried scorpion with herbal tea.
