Description of the attraction
On a plot of 29 hectares, which is about a 15-minute drive from Pattaya, in 1992 a popular recreation site was opened - the Park of ancient stones.
It was organized by a wealthy businessman Hun Xuan Phanomwattanakul, who came up with an unusual hobby - he began to collect fossil remains of trees and huge boulders of bizarre shapes. The stones were brought from different parts of the country. Sometimes they were found on construction sites when laying the foundation, but more often they were accidentally found in the jungle. The age of most of the stones is striking: it can be assumed that dinosaurs touched these boulders. All specimens of the Phanomwattanakul collection were transported to the territory of a specially created park for this purpose. Some of the stones initially resembled animals and birds in their shape, while sculptors worked on others, giving them a memorable shape. Now in the park, on separate sites, you can see a stone turtle, strange plants, mythological heroes, etc.
Another popular attraction in the park is the crocodile farm, where hundreds of toothy reptiles are kept, bred, and also made to entertain the audience. For a fee, the crocodile can be fed. A piece of meat is attached to a stick, similar to a fishing rod, and treated to a crocodile.
There is also a zoo in the park where tigers, elephants, bears, giraffes and many other exotic animals are kept. Visitors participate in their feeding, take pictures of the animals they like, that is, they make every possible contact with them, which is actively encouraged by the zoo keepers.

Interesting excursion I advise everyone to go on this excursion. Be sure to try feeding the crocodiles. By the way, I tried crocodile soup, very tasty, reminiscent of chicken.
