Essentials about SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World in brief

SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World (the former “Siam Ocean World”) is the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia and worth a visit not only for fish and underwater fans. The aquarium is located in the basement of the luxurious Siam Paragon shopping mall. On approx. 10,000 square meters one gets to see here over 30,000 sea inhabitants from all regions of the world. Even fish experts will certainly discover some species in the aquarium that they have never seen before.

The zones of SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World

When visiting SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World, visitors undertake a journey through seven different zones. The journey begins in the so-called Weird and Wonderful Zone, where rare sea creatures with sometimes quite unusual appearance are presented, such as the striped frogfish, the garden eel and sea spiders. This is followed by the Deep Reef Zone, which is home to reef dwellers such as batfish, surgeonfish and the Australian junker. In the Living Ocean Zone you learn how animals survive in the sea. Then you walk through the Rainforest Zone, where you can discover the ancient African lungfish, the blind cavefish, as well as large water rats and otters.

In the Rocky Shore Zone, you can meet penguins and other marine mammals and learn how they survive in ever-changing conditions. Next, you’ll come to a pond where you can pet starfish, then walk through a 270-degree tunnel beneath Open Ocean, Asia’s largest panoramic aquarium. From there, various species of sharks and rays can be observed up close. The final attraction is LED-lit aquariums with jellyfish, whose weightless gliding is accompanied by music.
