Pattaya Zoo / Animal Farm
Thailand is a land that is full of amazing and wondrous animals. Although Pattaya is a tourist town that sits next to the beach, it still gets plenty of different animals walking around the land with a few even willing to come out to try and get some food from the nice tourist! Pattaya also has a number of Animal Farms, Animal Shelters and Zoo’s which are great fun for young kids, couples of the older tourist.
Pattaya Zoo – Khao Kheow Zoo
Khao Kheow Zoo is located in Pattaya and is home to plenty of different water animals, forest animals and birds. The Zoo is about 35 minutes drive from the main CBD and has a low entry fee of about $3. Just to give you an idea on how many animals call this zoo home, there are over 8000 different animals from over 3000 different species. Many of the Animals in Khao Kheow Zoo are actually endangered species which should give some an added incentive to come and have a look. Khao Kheow Zoo is also internationally famous for managing to get certain animals to mate which in turn helps the endangered species list.
Its no secret that kids love Animals so kids love the Zoo. Boys like big scary lions and tigers while girls like the birds and dolphins! All of these can found in Khao Kheow Zoo, and part of your entry fee does go to help the animals. Just one more reason you should get over and check it out!

Pattaya Snake Farm – Queen Saowapha Memorial Institute
The Pattaya Snake Farm was initially setup up so it would be able to produce enough anti-venom serum for snake-bite victims right across Thailand. Thailand is home to some of the most venomous snakes in the world, these include; Siamese Cobra, The King Cobra, Russell’s Viper, Banded Krait, Malayan Pit Viper, and even the famous and brilliant Red Belly Black Snake which is based in Australia but they seem to find there way here. The snakes at the Pattaya Snake Farm are milked daily so the staff at the Snake Farm can get the toxic venom, which in turn is provided to the hospital who create Anti-Venom. This can be a very education place to visit if you are willing to make it that way. Feel free to come through when they are Milking the Snakes for the Venom, or you can swing by and watch the Snake Handlers do some amazing stuff such as Kissing the Snakes and allowing them to cover there entire bodies.
