On the afternoon of September 12, a 65-year-old woman from a rural suburb of Bangkok traveled an hour to the Samutprakarn Crocodile Farm and Zoo. She paid the $9 admission and headed for a pond holding thousands of crocodiles. There, she slipped off her shoes, climbed over a barrier and jumped in. The police said Wanpen Inyai, identified later by the ID card in her pocket, committed suicide. Compounding the tragedy, she wasn’t the first. Since 1992, at least four people have taken their lives there.
