The Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo is an attraction consisting of a 60-acre park, reserved exclusively for wildlife conservation. Located in Samphran district, which is about one hour's drive from Bangkok, the Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo puts on elaborate themed shows presenting acrobatic and entertaining elephants, as well as a popular crocodile wrestling show. These shows take up the morning hours at the zoo, so you can visit the buffet afterwards, to enjoy a scrumptious spread.
The elephant show at Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo includes dancing baby elephants, elephant football, a re-enactment of the Yutha Hathi historical elephant-back battle during the Ayuthaya period, acrobatic entertainment and much more. More than 10,000 crocodiles live at the Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo, and the majority of them participate in the crocodile wrestling show, which includes a great performance of a master and crocodile battling each other. Other than the shows, visitors can also enjoy elephant-back rides, photography sessions with the animals, feeding and petting the animals and water bike rides along the stream to see catfish. The zoo has been accredited by CITES as one of the cleanest and most impressive public wildlife displays in the world.

The Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo hosts the Jumbo Banquet Ceremony on an annual basis. Held on 1st May between 3:00 pm and 4:30pm, the ceremony features elephants feeding on 6 tons of vegetables and fruits. The ceremony is organized as a means of showing appreciation to the elephants for their efforts throughout the past year.
The zoo also hosts a special Children's Day, where the grounds are reserved for kids' entertainment throughout the day. From 9:00 am to 15:00 pm, the Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo provides special shows, free games and activities for children.
