👍👍 Interesting experience. You get to see many snakes, and you can also touch them and have them crawl over you if you are not afraid (but it is safe). And the owner is friendly. We recommend visiting.

Rice in curry by volume with a small tea cup. There is a photo - proof over the past year. We won’t go here anymore,...
