You know it's bad when an attraction in Southeast Asia is forced to close down for safety reasons. Previously known as the world's most terrifying tourist attraction, Elephant Kingdom in Chonburi is certainly not for the faint-hearted. Before being shut down due to shocking images of it circulating online, Elephant Kingdom was a real death trap.
Tourists, including families with children, would dangle bits of meat over a crocodile-infested river. To make things worse, they weren't even in a big boat or anything resembling a safe vehicle for this kind of activity - the best word we can come up with for it is 'floating cage'. These deadly, three-meter long crocs would jump high in the air to snatch up the meat. With tourists only centimeters away, it was a nightmare just waiting to happen.
