  • I took my kids (5&7) there one day. It was a great experience. Tickets are vary between Thais vs Tourists, which happened almost everywhere in Thailand. This snake farm is a part of Thai Rec Cross...

  • A fun way to spend an hour or two in Bangkok if looking for something to do. Would recommend arriving early for the show, it was very busy.

  • Was positively surprised with how well kept this farm is. There are outdoor cages and containers with snakes, as well as indoor exhibitions. The background and regions of snakes are meticulously mentioned and information about how to identify venomous snakes and what to do if you are bitten is very helpful. There is snake handling show at 2 pm which is quite fun and you can take pic with a snake later.
  • Indoor exhibit is quite nice. Outdoors could use some renovation. It's worth a visit if you are planning to see the show which was fun. The announcer was great! Unfortunately, it's another venue with tourist dual pricing. Even living in Thailand for a decade with a local driving license doesn't get you local price which is printed in Sanskrit so foreigners can't read it. I don't mind paying a bit more if it goes to a good cause like the Red Cross but paying 200 THB vs 50 for locals is a bit of a slap in the face.
  • Very nice place to visit. They will have show on schedule as in pictures take. The fee is 40 thb for Thai and 200 for foreigner but if you have work permit, you will get the same price as Thai. On Saturday and Sunday will have show on 11 am. They will show you how to handle with snakes in english and Thai.
  • i had a great time here. The 200 THB ticket was quite reasonable, the museum was really great and had a huge collection of snakes of different varieties. The demonstration session was amazing for its educational purposes, and you could even take a photo with the snakes after the demonstration.
  • If you in the city its worth a visit. Just near to Wat Hua Lamphong. Close to Si Lom metro and Sala Daeng BTS stations. Unfortunately my visit happened between shows so i was able to enjoy the exhibition part. 200฿ admission fee for adults, for children it’s cheaper. You see several species of venomous/non venomous snake from the local fauna.
