SAMUT PRAKAN
Virtually part of Greater Bangkok, this province is at the mouth of
the Chao Phraya River. One of its principle attractions is the Ancient
City, a beautifully designed Thailand in miniature. Covering over
100 acres created in the shape of Thailand, the Ancient City is an
open museum that contains 109 scaled-down versions of the country's
most famous monuments, all carefully located in their correct place
on the map.
The Crocodile Farm is the world's largest, with up to 30,000 inhabitants.
Besides breeding all manner of crocodiles, eventually to be turned
into handbags, shoes, etc, the farm also puts on fascinating crocodile
wrestling shows. A number of other animals are also raised here,
including tigers, elephants and chimpanzees.
