SAMUTPRAKARN
 
General Information

Samutprakan, also known as Pak Nam, is located 29 kilometres south of Bangkok, around the area where the Chao Phraya River flows into the Gulf of Thailand. It is a town of the Ayutthaya period. Samut Prakan is home to countless historical and cultural sites. It occupies an area of 1,004 square kilometres and is administratively divided into 5 districts (Amphoes) and 1 sub-district (Ging Amphoe); Amphoe Muang Samut Prakan, Amphoe Phra Pradaeng, Amphoe Bang Phli, Amphoe Bang Bo, Amphoe Phra Sumut Chedi, and Ging Amphoe Bang Sao Thong.


World's Largest Crocodile
Because Samutprakarn is a short drive from Bangkok, overnight stays are not necessary to view its few attractions; but two major attractions are well worth visiting. Firstly, Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo, a collection of over 60,000 crocs in one park ranging from babies to 20-footers. The largest captive crocodile, an Estuarine/Siamese hybrid answering to the name of "Yai," eats his lunch here! The park layout allows visitors close views of the reptiles in relative safety, but don't be fooled into thinking their placid demeanor makes them cute and harmless; they are neither, so keep your distance.

The Ancient City
The other attraction, not much further along the road is The Ancient City. Touted as the largest open-air museum in the world, this 80-hectare park contains more than 100, scale replicas of the major monuments around Thailand – some of them really big. It is a pleasant environment for a picnic as well, and one can easily spend the whole day here.
