How to drag a crocodile by its tail in Phuket
5000 crocodiles inhabit — and rule — the Phuket Zoo. These large predators have their own show, and the emotions run high enough to shock the people who’ve seen it all. But you’re not of the easily scared, are you? 

The daily shows in the Phuket Zoo are available at 09:45, 12:45, 15:15, 17:30.

Open hours: daily from 8:30 to 18:00
