About this audio guide
This guide to The Million Years Stone Park & Pattaya Crocodile Farm in Pattaya opens on a trainer lowering his head into a crocodile's open jaws, then steps back to the quieter obsession behind the grounds: Khun Suan Phanomwattanakul's more than thirty years gathering oddly shaped stones and century-old trained trees, some fossils reckoned over a hundred million years old. It follows construction from 1989 to the gates opening on seventy acres in 1992, and the crocodile farm that grew up alongside the stone gardens afterward. Two very different collections share one park here.
