Queen Saovabha Snake Farm
As part of the Red Cross Institute, this snake farm serves the dual purpose of edutainment (KRS1 reference in a snake post, what's up?) and supply of raw material for antivenin for all of Thailand - lethal snake venom that is milked on a daily basis from their stock of various local serpents.
