Underwater World Pattaya
A new tourist attraction in town is the largest and
most modern ocean aquarium in Asia, boasting a 100-meter-long, 6.4-centimeter-thick
acrylic pedestrian tunnel through an underwater environment filled
with dozens of marine species.
Located just 200 meters south of Tesco Lotus in South Pattaya,
the new theme park covers a total area of 12-rai and is housed in
a structure similar to a large circus tent.
The aquarium itself houses more than 4,000 marine animals, comprising
more than 200 different species from the region as well as some
rare creatures from overseas. Top in the Visitors must-see list
is the rare shovelnose ray, a hybrid between a shark and a stingray.
Open from 9.00 a.m. 6.00 p.m. For more information and booking,
