I have photos somewhere but they had heaps of baby crocodiles in one enclosure and the adult enclosures had rotten food in them and any water in enclosures was dirty with rubbish in it! We got to feed baby elephants bananas, but the adult ones were chained up and had to watch the babies being fed. They had a couple of albino snakes just in cages that were far too small for such a big snake! I felt sorry for a lot of the animals, but at the same time I enjoyed their shows and liked seeing new animals. One thing I thought was kind of odd - they had a well type enclosure which was full of cane toads! Anyway I enjoyed myself but I know where I would rather be Krystal.

I went to Thailand a couple years ago (got engaged on the beach of Phi Phi Island... sigh). The whole time I was there I was thinking the RSPCA would have a field day over there! So many cockfights, stray dogs etc... Wasnt very pleasant. Apart from that Thailand was interesting enough, but I am with you, Krystal, when you say I know where I would rather be!! We are a very lucky country!!
