Visit to the crocodile farm with UK sponsors

Today we met with Tom and Tim, Thailand based UK sponsors to take their sponsored students Tuey and Jay on a visit to the Crocodile Park, also on the day out was our driver for the day Tom, Liz Shepherd of MERCY and 13 year old Lek.

First stop was to see the crocodile show which comprised of the trainer dragging some rather large crocodiles around before sticking his arm down a croc's throat and then dancing with one of the smaller crocs. The finale of be show was when the trainer stuck his head into the crocodile's mouth.

We then went on to the other animals where Tuey and Jay fed the Giraffes while Lek fed the crocs. Then onto the elephants where all three boys fed the elephants and the two younger boys went on an elephant ride.

A visit to the tigers was where Lek braved having his photo taken sitting beside one of the tigers (I politely declined the offer) then off to see the remaining tigers before entering the restaurant where every dish on the menu contained crocodile, so we decided against eating there.

After exploring other areas of the park for a while we decided to take the boys to eat at The Magnolias a lakeside restaurant before returning them home.
