 Located
at the corner of Henri Dunant Road and Rama IV Road,
the Snake Farm is the second oldest in the world. A
foreigner who realized the dangers of snakes’
venom established it in 1923. Since imported serum was
no match for serum produced by Thai poisonous snakes,
this snake farm was purposely built to extract serum
from their venom.
At present, the farm is also used for providing knowledge
about venom for interested people and medical students,
as well as raising non-poisonous snakes, which are beneficial
to our ecosystem like the Indochinese rat snake, and
the copperhead racer, which is kept for educational
purposes.
After refurbishing, the Farm now features multimedia
facilities that offer exhibitions such as snakes’
life cycle and their evolution. On weekdays, the extraction
of venom is demonstrated at 11.00 hrs. To feel a shiver
of excitement, let’s watch a daily show between
an experienced handler and deadly reptiles at 14.30
hrs. On weekends and extra holidays, the snake handling
show is scheduled at 11.00 hrs.
In addition, the Farm provides activities for kids
such as how to do the first-aid for a snakebite victim
and a quiz on snakes’ venom.
