The museum was very educational and you can learn a good bit about snakes. There ...

Amazing experience! Never visited a snake farm and its well worth it! They have various species with lots of explanation. You don’t wanna miss the exhibition which happen to be at 11am on Sundays (different during the week)! It is intense but for those who like this type of activity will enjoy for sure!

Very cool and informative farm. Set half outdoors and half indoors with a fair bit of variety of snakes to look at and learn about. Not a very big place but I was quite happy with my experience. They have a little show at 11am on weekends and 2pm on weekdays where the handlers bring out snakes one by one while a vet tells you all about the snake in both English and Thai. 🐍

The snake museum is a top-notch exhibit not only for displays b...
