The Million Years Stone Park and Crocodile Farm is another unique tourist attraction in Pattaya. It has a combination of attractions that range from the Stone Park & Garden, an exotic zoo, the crocodile farm, and a performance with live crocodiles.

Crocodile Shows
While the other aspects of the park are a nice part of the visit, the main attraction has to be the live crocodile show. A handful of Thai trainers are in a large enclosed area with a raised center surrounded by water with some very large crocodiles.
The performers get up close and personal with the crocs is a variety of harrowing positions. From kissing the crocodiles on the nose to putting their whole arms and even their heads in their open mouths. The performance will have you on the edge of your seat.
Crocodile Show Times: Every Hour (except noon) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Garden & Stone Park

Much like the Sriracha Tiger Zoo, the Million Years Stone park has come under some scrutiny for the treatment of the animals.
Crocodile Kingdom
The last being point of interest is the crocodile farm where they keep and breed salt water crocodiles. Like most parks they claim to have the largest collection of crocodiles in Thailand.
