Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute-Snake Farm
The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute is famed for its research on snake venom and vaccinations, as well as its husbandry of venomous snakes. King Rama VI called for the manufacture and distribution of the rabies vaccine in 1912, when Princess Banlusirisarn died from a rabies infection. Today, visitors are mostly attracted to the institute for its popular snake farm.
Not only will visitors get to see thousands of snakes, they’ll also learn about the different species of snakes that can be found in Thailand, research on antivenom, and the many steps taken towards protecting these animals. Visitors can attend the snake show and see animators charm cobras, take photos holding one of the many snakes, and much more.
