Starting in June, visitors will have a chance to see the humped animals and enjoy riding one at Camel Republic, a new theme park in Cha-am, said Pamorn Tantichirasakul, the second son of Pena House Group’s founder Supot Tantichirasakul.....
The car-park for pick-up trucks & music-blaring cartoon-adorned coaches must be round the back maybe..?
(Artist's impression to have BKK Hi-So's cars only).
Stick with Swiss sheep..they don't grunt & spit as much as camels..555!
Being Thailand a traditional theme would have been nice, like water buffalo rides and an authentic Thai village. As you indicate though, the Bangkok hi-so brigade would gasp in horror and cover their kid's eyes.

Great, another place to buy over priced clothes, but with camel rides available. And, once you're done, continue on your way to Hua-Hin and stop at Venecia, where you can once again by over priced clothes, with gondola rides available.
Next on the agenda.......Ostrich City, complete with ostrich rides.
Don't try to impress me with your manner of dress cos a monkey himself is a monkey no less - cold fact

It’s none of my business what people say and think of me. I am what I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. It makes life so much easier.

I took some visiting friends who had two sons aged 6&4 about two months ago - they thought it was ok as a one off, and stayed for about 1.1/2 hours but wouldn't want to go again.
I went there a couple of weeks ago with the kids. I got Thai price on production of my driving licence but couldn't get OAP price which they told me was only for Thais!
Spent a couple of enjoyable hours there. You can feed all the animals for the usual 20 baht. There's a small aviary that you can enter and feed free flying birds. Careful they don't s*1t on your head when they land on you as seems to be their thing. Rides were on a token system and I guess quite expensive due to the lack of customers.
Certainly worth a visit but I don't think they'll get repeat trade.
