Daily snake show at 230 or weekend venom extraction demo are what most folk go for but the two floor snake/snake related display is well worth a peek. We were lucky enough to get front row for the snake show which we found informative and entertaining. These guys clearly know and respect snakes and put across the varied works of... More

Went there on Saturday morning with show starting at 11:00am (your travel guide may say Snake Farm opens at 08:30 on Saturday but it's actually 09:30). Facilities are really good and modern, snakes are kept in well maintained enclosures and even without the show it would be well worth the visit. Show was absolutely awesome. Seeing King cobras, rather cranky... More

I had visited the farm with my family and we had a splendid time. In fact i read one of the reviews which mentioned that there was a venom extraction show in the auditorium at 11 am and after that the next show is at 2.30 in the afternoon and the reviewer said that they went out shopping and then...

It's tucked away and easy to miss from the main road but stick with it and you'll find a great snake farm. The entrance money helps to fund the great work these guys do. The snake venom show is early at 11am so don't miss it, it's one of the few places I know of in the world to witness... More

Snake farm is very accessible from the air train saladeng. We just had to cross a street loaded with japanese restaurants. The entrance fee is 200 bahts and we enjoyed the visit. Mant snakes were hidden and sleepy but some were moving and ot was very impressive! We liked the visit. Also, there was a movie explaining what to do... More

i didnt really like the snake farm, I think i can be quite dangerous for kids, as they are even willing to put on kids arms a big snake...well, i did the same myself but I think on a child its different, people who work there are polite and nice, if you like to see snakes, go there, the problem...

It is a nice boat trip to the snake farm. If you have not seen such a show before or perhaps not one with Cobras than it is a fun thing to do and worth the admission price.

The snake farm is a very Thai experience. You sit on some raised bleachers, only a meter above the action, and there is action. Cobras, fast moving things, big snakes, all just an arm's length away. The handlers get close in to the action, risking a good snap from these aggressive beasts, all while the MC gives a good background... More

We only called in for about an hour to see the snake venom extraction, but would have stayed for the later show if we had time. Facilities way more modern then expected and very interesting, so many snakes! Venom extraction interesting, if a little scary to watch. Wish the audience showed more respect for the speakers and didn't talk over... More

Greate for kids and adults too. Nice "show" outdoor, and many things to see and learn indoor. Remember to go up the 2. floor. We forgot the first time. Be aware that only during weekdays you can see how they tap the venom from the snakes. Also remember to check show times. Expect to spend 2-3 hours.
