Siam Ocean World

Another activity we did was to visit the Siam Ocean World aquarium. It's located at Siam Paragon shopping center basement. The entry fee was 750Bht/adult but I can't remember how much was for kids. Anyway, they were giving away freebies like free drinks, glass-bottomed boat ride & merchandise for every ticket bought. The aquarium is pretty impressive with many different types of fish. The feeding sessions are a highlight, especially the shark feeding, giant grouper feeding and arapaima feeding times. The staff there are helpful in explaining the fishes' diet & habitat but their English is not that great. There is also a touch pool where starfishes, hermit crabs & other sea life are placed so that you can have a feel of them. A padded playground with obstacle course, slides, ball pit & play area is available just after the penguin exhibit. Too bad there is no place where kids can feed some fish.
