Phuket Zoo and Animal Parks
Aquariums, Zoo and Orchid Farms
The tropics and exotic animals are intrinsically linked. Croc, tigers, monkeys and snakes - they're all here in Phuket and then some.
Certain animals are 'encouraged' to perform for audiences and others enjoy more sedate lifestyles but whether you go to see fabulously coloured butterflies or the more drab crocodiles and elephants at the zoo it'll still be worth your while in terms of the 'wow,-I-didn't-know-that' factor.

Snake Shows in Phuket
Thailand is home to more than 50 species of snakes, including several poisonous varieties, and a spine-tingling (and safe) way to see them is at a snake show. Watch as seemingly fearless snake handlers charm, caress, harrass and even kiss various species of snakes, including spitting vipers and, most startlingly, King cobras.
