Kathu Cobra Show — Attraction in Kathu

I really respect and value the time the "snake charmer" spends with the snakes and how they respect him. He also showed us in the show how he was bitten and the scars he has.

But honestly, I went because it said it was a "snake farm" and I thought it would be something healthy and good. I also wanted the unique chance to see a king cobra. Sadly, it was not like that. The way they treat the snakes is very hard, with no real care. Some even had their tails cut (many of them), and later I read this is to limit their movement. That was very sad to see and to know.

The show is 20 minutes, but if it can be avoided, it is better. At one moment, when they lifted a python, it pooped because it was so scared. Very sad.

If possible, please don’t go, so they stop keeping animals in these conditions. I really regret going, and I wish I had read some research about...

Really cool show to come to if you like snakes. I like snakes and sharks and all kinds of crazy stuff so coming here was a neat thing for me. I personally wanted to be a bit more involved in the show and I filmed my entire experience for a YouTube video that I will be posting at a later date. I explained to the staff that I wanted to film, they had no problem and when the show was over I was invited to stay a bit extra and handle some snakes one on one. I have owned venomous and non-venomous and have experience with snakes and I would never recommend anyone getting out of their comfort zone for the safety of the animal and the person. The people here were friendly and not pushy. I enjoyed...

Don’t even think about especially if you have kids. The experience will ruin your vacation. The place is operated by untrained shady individuals. It’s extremely dirty and smelly . The poor animals especially the monkeys are short chained and looked miserable. The so called “show” is a joke. Finally, it’s not safe as the will make the monkeys approach, set on your lap and force them to take pictures. Don’t go there and if you taxi still force you to go, then ask to check the place first...
