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.

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.

Tour also included a helpful tour guide who purchased the entrance tickets and was knowledgeable...

We took an elephant ride which was...

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...

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...

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.
