KING COBRA SHOW
King Cobra Show in Chiang Mai : Snake Demonstrations and Cobra Encounters in Northern Thailand
The King Cobra Show in Chiang Mai is one of the more unusual attractions found outside the city centre.
Not a big flashy show, but still worth the visit if you are on a local area tour and have a fascination for snakes. There are also a few other reptiles in pens outside.
The King Cobra Show is designed around live snake demonstrations, with a focus on cobras and other snakes found in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
The main attraction is the king cobra which is one of the world’s most famous venomous snakes. The photos below show the types of demonstrations the handlers perform with these deadly creatures.
If you are a family with young children, then this live snake show could be one to avoid. There is a bit of a scare factor introduced into the show by the snake handlers.
Always keep a good distance from the snakes and follow the handlers instructions at all times.
Other nearby attractions to see on a tour of the area is the Siam Insect Zoo and the Butterfly Farm.

How To Get To King Cobra Show
The best way to visit is by taking a local tour by one of the private operators you will find around the streets in Chiang Mai city. Make sure the vehicle has working air-conditioning. They know what places the tourist will like and the tour cost is usually very reasonable. You will need to pay the entry price for each attraction yourself when you arrive. Take enough cash with you for entry fees to these attractions, and in small notes, because the smaller attractions will not have card facilities or change for large notes.
