Unique cafe with reptiles in Saigon
Monday, May 5, 2014
With drinks priced at only VND15,000-VND28,000 ($0.7-1.2)/ glass, the coffee shop on Hoa Phuong Road, in Ho Chi Minh City’s Phu Nhuan District, uses reptiles like pythons, snakes, and South America dragons to attract tourists.
The shop’s menu is impressive, with pictures of reptiles. The shop just opened but it has attracted many visitors, especially the young and, of course, those who love reptiles.
Customers are guided how to play with reptiles.
A boy says: "It is interesting to look at and play with the reptiles that I could only see on TV or the internet right here".
