CROCODILE PARK

The Million Years Stone Park is a rather bizarre attraction featuring unusual rock formations coupled with exciting animal shows. Specialising in the ancient, as the name suggests, the top exhibits include fossilised trees and the closest genetic relatives to prehistoric monsters: crocodiles. The 30-hectare (70 acres) park is located in a quiet village just off the main highway to Bangkok, where it has been since February 1992. It was founded by a local businessman with a love of nature and a large collection of unusual natural objects, including stratified rocks and Thai-style trained trees (which are a little like Japanese Bonsai tree, but bigger). This collection makes up roughly half of the park’s area, which is laid out as a very pleasant landscaped park. It is a peaceful place, good for enjoying at a leisurely pace and for taking photos with usual backdrops. Sadly, there are no information boards in the park, so those with an interest in geology will not be able to learn much from the fascinating displays.
