Siam Ocean World is one of the largest two-storeys in-door aquarium in Southeast Asia which is located at the basement of
Siam Paragon Shopping Mall in Bangkok. The exhibit is divided into
7 zones with individually designed theme and apart from its recreational options, it also proves a very good learning center for kids too.
With our
Day 3 schedule packed with fun at
Siam Ocean World, afternoon tea at
Agalico and cruise dinner on board
Chao Phraya Princess, I am sure you will be excited to follow us through the posts and read about our experience in those places.
As usual after our morning breakfast at Cuisine Unplugged which is located near the hotel lobby, we took the free Tutu Shuttle Service to the nearby BTS station to our first destination at Siam Ocean World.
At the ticketing counter, their friendly staff take time to explain to us about the different types of tickets and from their recommendation, we took the Family Package for @ 3,150 THB (SG$128.00) which includes 2 Adults and 2 Children (age 15 years old and below) and each ticket includes:-

Basically Siam Ocean World is divided into 7 Zones featuring Deep Reef, Living Ocean, Open Ocean, Rainforest and etc. And within the aquarium it features more than 30,000 marine animals in its tanks which brings amazing water world experience for visitors.

| [Siam Ocean World] Zone 1 - Weird And Wonder |
Upon entering the aquarium, you would see all sort of weird and wonderful sea creatures such as king crabs and rare species like Coconut Octopus (row 1, right) and Leaf Scorpionfish (row 2, right) in Zone 1.

| [Siam Ocean World] Zone 2 - Deep Reef |
Further down at Zone 2, you would see a huge tank featuring marine life which you will find in the coral reefs.

| [Siam Ocean World] Zone 3 - Living Ocean |
Whereas at Zone 3, we get to visit the "Back of House Tour" where we have the opportunity to touch and witness the real operation behind the scenes of how the Aquarium actually works. Beside that Zone 3 also features some underwater rules of survival and how sea creatures protect themselves against predators.

| [Siam Ocean World] Glass Bottom Boat |
For some family fun, Glass Bottom Boat ride (usual price 150 THB (SG$6.00) per person) featuring a 5 - 8 minutes ride around the tanks with one of their boatman "gliding" the boat was awesome. We enjoyed our ride spotting fishes underneath but if you are keen you can also grab a cup of shrimps to feed the fishes. The experience is pretty pretty exciting as you get to see fishes like sharks, eagle rays and etc just right below your feet through the glass bottom boat.

There are many interesting creatures and animals waiting for you in the rainforest at Zone 4 where you get to see animals like "Giant Water Rat (3rd row, 1st picture)" which look rather cute as compared to those scary street rats. Other than that, there are also Penguin, Golden Snakes, Poison Spiders and etc.

Our family combo tickets also entitled us for the Happy Fish, Happy Feet treatment where we happily sit and relax our feet in the cold jacuzzi which is filled with little fishes that softly nibbles on our skin. Indeed it was a fun experience for first timer like us to enjoy fish spa.

Remember to drop by the Sea Jellies zone before you leave the aquarium. You will be amazed by these cute jelly fish in those colour changing light tanks which makes them look so stunning under those lights.
