Siam Ocean World at Siam Paragon
Posted by Stuart at 10:31 AM on August 11, 2006About a month ago, Piyawat and I visited Siam Ocean World at Siam Paragon. I guess I didn't have time to write about our experience then, so I will do so now and show a few pics of what we saw.
Siam Ocean World is billed as Southeast Asia's largest aquarium, but I have to say that I was a little disappointed with what I saw there. Many of the tanks are completely empty, and many of them are labeled incorrectly. Considering Thailand has such amazing coral reefs just off its coastline, you would think that they could do a better job at displaying the wonders of the ocean here in Bangkok.
But, it was still a worthwhile trip, especially since tickets were half-price the day that we went. There is still something beautiful and peaceful about watching big manta ray glide over your head. And no matter how many times I see a sea-horse or a tank full of undulating jellyfish, I will still find the diversity of marine life fascinating.
