As well as being host to the Pattaya Crocodile farm, The Million Years Stone Park is - as its name suggests - home to some beautiful putrefied tree logs. These are now part of the rock landscape of the park, forming spectacular focal points for the many features within this beautifully landscaped park area.

There are splendid gardens that are host to the 'fossilised' and putrefied logs and trees, and these are well worth the visit when at the Crocodile Farm.
The putrefied logs and tree trunk range in size from a metre or so, to several metres in height, and weighing up to 75 tons. They make for some good detail photographs. There are some Award-winning Bonsai trees, which are over 200 years old - in keeping with the age of the main exhibits - though not a million years old of course! A nice water garden can be traversed by wide stepping stones. There are further examples of the million year stones that make this such an interesting attraction - and so near to Pattaya.
