1 - There are some dealers (not as much as in yesterdays) in the weekend park (ask for Suan Chatuchak, sounds something like sue-an sjatutjak) Concerning the ban I don't know, but I think there's a lot of wild catch at the market so quality is not very high and prices not too favourable (US$110 for a ball python). Local small snakes for a dollar or so ...
2 - Yes, the Snake Farm is a great place to go to see king cobras being milked. It's a bit of a tourist rap to us locals, but still worth a visit. It is on Rama 4 road, next to the chualakorn hospital. Close to Patpong and Silom Roads.
Have fun! Email if you like my mobile no.!
: You will have a great time in Thailand I'm sure,however you won't be able to take any snakes out of Thailand as they have a export ban,which has been in force for some time now.
: There is quite a good place in Bangkok,where you can see alot of venomous snakes including the King Cobra.
: You will have to ask for the address of the 'Red cross'snake park,it's right next door to a V.D. clinic,which may well also find of interest if you see some of the other sites in Thailand,if you know what I mean! LOL!
: Hope you have a great time and don't choke on the fumes in Bangkok!
