These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

Elephant Kingdom

Believe it or not, there aren’t many elephants in The Elephant Kingdom. Located in Chonburi, Thailand, this is one of the most notable tourist spots in Southeast Asia. However, people don’t come for the elephants, they come for the crocodiles. Chonburi is home to an abundance of species of aggressive crocodile, and tourists can pay to be sent out into open water on a raft to feed them raw meat. These rafts are a little rickety at times, and in the past few years, there have been numerous crocodile related casualties involving overzealous tourists stretching their boundaries and getting snagged.
