Anyone for a swim? Chinese tourists stand on a flimsy raft and dip meat dangling from sticks into a lake teeming with crocodiles

Terrifying photos have emerged online of Chinese tourists- some of them children- standing on a rusty metal raft feeding crocodiles.

The photos sparked outrage after they were posted to Twitter on Friday, forcing the tourist attraction at Elephant Kingdom in ‪Chonburi‬, ‪‎Thailand‬ to close.

The holiday makers scrambled aboard the make-shift cage floating on top of plastic barrels.

Only hours after the images (pictured) went viral, police, soldiers and government officials raced to the crocodile farm- Elephant Kingdom, and it will be closed for 90 days while officials perform safety checks.
