Thailand: World’s most horrifying tourist attraction has been shut down in Thailand after terrifying images emerged of tourists standing on a raft feeding meat to crocodiles. The image which quickly went viral after it was posted on Twitter sparked police and government authorities to react.

Young Chinese tourist were seen scrambled aboard a make-shift cage that was kept afloat with plastic barrels just few yards from the dangerous reptiles.

The tourist were seen dangling lumps of beef using canes over the jaws of the reptiles.

 

The images were captured by motorcycle rider Jon Nok which showed hundreds of crocodiles surrounding the raft in a pond used for crocodile farming at the Elephant Kingdom in Chonburi, Thailand. 

Jon, 40, said; 

‘I’ve bee a taxi driver for more than 20 years and never seen anything like this before.

‘It looks so dangerous I just had to take a picture. The tourists were all Chinese and some of them were scared, others were enjoying it.
‘People have been shocked to see that this happens.’

Owner of the tourist attraction which is part of a crocodile farm, Uthen Youngprapakorn, said he had granted the rides on the cage after increasing demand from Chinese tourists.

‘We don’t put more than 15 people in a cage at a time. But they can hold more than this.
‘There have never been any problems and visitors are very happy. We always watch everything very closely.
