The Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm

4.2(7,783 reviews)

Spread across 70 acres on the outskirts of Pattaya, this attraction combines two distinct experiences: a botanical garden filled with striking ancient rock formations and carefully maintained landscaped grounds, and a crocodile farm featuring live performance shows. The stone park side draws visitors for its unusual geological displays and photogenic garden settings, while the crocodile farm adds an element of spectacle with handlers performing up-close demonstrations. Giraffes and elephants are also present on site, with paid feeding experiences available. Visitors should be aware that the animal welfare standards here are a point of genuine controversy. A notable number of visitors have raised concerns about the conditions in which animals are kept, including tigers housed in small enclosures and crocodiles managed in ways some find distressing. Those who are sensitive to animal welfare issues may want to research this aspect carefully before visiting, as experiences vary significantly depending on personal expectations. The park is open every day from 08:00 to 17:00, making it accessible throughout the week. Given the size of the grounds, visitors should allow a substantial amount of time to explore the full site comfortably. Wearing comfortable walking shoes and bringing sun protection is advisable, as much of the park is outdoors and exposed. The official website at thaistonepark.org may carry updated information on entry fees and show schedules before visiting.

Very nice place. Don't miss the crocodile show here. It was very awesome. It's a bit big place. You will need more time to completely go around. You can feed the giraffee and elephant here at extra cost. Very nice place to go

Fun and unique place to visit in Pattaya. The Million Years Stone Park has impressive rock formations and beautiful landscaped gardens. The Crocodile Farm offers shows and close-up viewing, though some people may find it intense. Overall, a memorable experience with lots to see and photograph.

An absolutely horrible place for the animals. All chained with short chains. They have tigers in small cages, some with up to 3 tigers in the same cage, with No water. The crocodile show is a guy hitting, pulling, smacking crocodiles. The riding elephants are smacked, to move them to places. All elephants are in a very small area, all chained, with no chance to even give a step. They have a children playground which is falling apart, slides are broken and are dangerous but they don’t have any signs and kids are still able to get on them. Overcrowding of animals for show. Awful animal conditions.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
