Pet and ride the elephants and have your photo taken with the tigers. Buffet restaurant is good. The kids trained to feed the crocodiles is quite frightening, they sell crocodile purses and wallets but I thought they were overpriced.

This place really isn't much to shout about and certainly doesn't justify the 600 baht entry fee. The grounds are dull and poorly maintained. The enclosures for the animals verge on terrible just an area of water and concrete for the crocs, dust for the elephants and a cage for the monkeys, no stimuli for them nor landscaping of any...

Went after the floating market day tour. Buffet lunch was ok, variety of food was not very extensive. If you are visiting just this attraction, paying the entrance fee of THB600 is not very worth it IMHO. The croc wrestling show was in some parts exciting but for most parts nothing to shout about. In fact, the poor creatures were... More

We booked a half day tour to Samphran Elephant Zoo and had a great experience. The tour included transportation to/from the hotel - note that it was at least 90-min drive from Bangkok city center (longer if it is rush hour traffic or during rain!). Tour also included a helpful tour guide who purchased the entrance tickets and was knowledgeable... More

We arrived in low season and maybe that is why everything felt unkempt. I dont like when animals are put in small cages and there are lots of monkeys in small cages here. The park feel unkept and when we were there the gardens were not trimmed and the overall impression was shabby. We took an elephant ride which was... More

A bit far from Bangkok but worth it. I really enjoyed the two programs - Elephant show and Crocodile Show. Foods at the restaurant are awesome and yummylicious.

Samphran Elephant Ground and Zoo focuses on elephants and crocodiles so it's not really a zoo but if you want to see more than just temples, markets and shopping malls, then this makes for a good day out. Getting There: The trip is advertised as being about an hour away but this is Bangkok and traffic can double journey times... More

The place seemed well-maintained, clean, and orderly. At the entrance you'd have the chance to be near the tigers and have your photo taken with them. I wasn't keen on it though as I noticed that the tigers looked "groggy" and exhausted. The crocodile show was a hit among the visitors as we were treated to risky stunts like putting... More

had a great time visiting and I think they are doing the best they can as a low key park. Elephants seem well kept, but alligators are rare.
