Siam Ocean World Bangkok: A Sensory Undersea Adventure If you're seeking a delightful family outing or a unique urban escapade, Siam Ocean World Bangkok is worth exploring. Nestled in the heart of the bustling city, this aquarium offers a decently large space dedicated to an immersive undersea experience. While it may not be a haven for hardcore marine enthusiasts focused on conservation and education, it excels in creating a sensory spectacle of undersea life. The highlight of the aquarium is its array of massive tanks teeming with diverse fish species, showcasing a mesmerizing palette of colors. Visitors are encouraged to leisurely explore and marvel at the wonders of the deep, making it a perfect destination for a relaxed family day out. One of the standout features is the impressive shark tank, complete with an underwater tunnel that provides an up-close encounter with majestic sharks and graceful manta rays. The penguin show and the captivating shark tunnel steal the spotlight, adding an extra layer of excitement to the overall experience. However, for those with a profound passion for marine conservation and in-depth educational exhibits, Siam Ocean World Bangkok might fall short compared to larger, more elaborate aquariums. Nonetheless, if you're in search of a bit of aquatic fun for the whole family or a break from the urban hustle, this aquarium is a compelling choice. In summary, Siam Ocean World Bangkok offers an enjoyable journey into the depths of the ocean, making it a recommended destination for families and urban adventurers alike. Dive in and let the undersea wonders captivate your senses.

Sealife Bangkok was a pretty significant bait and switch in my opinion. Ironic, given that it's an aquarium after all. Throughout the line, they offer a QR link to pay for "Single Tickets", as well as their upgraded options. All we needed was the Single Ticket option, since we only had a few hours before we had to head to the airport. Because the venue is in the basement, there is not great data service to do the self checkout on your phone, but the line was so long we didn't want to lose our place. The venue offers their own wifi but it doesn't work. As a result, we waited through the line for about 40 mins, only to find out they don't sell single tickets to their aquarium at the ticket desk. They only sell an upgraded combo ticket to their aquarium and another attraction. I told the woman at the front of the line that we only needed a single ticket, and that we had no interest or time to buy an additional ticket to Madame Tussauds. She said she didn't care, and that she could not sell a ticket for only the aquarium at the aquarium. I felt like the venue was trying to take advantage of customers with kids who had waited in line. They told me that I could pay the upgraded ticket price or get out of line. I politely refused either of those options, and made them wait patiently for me to check out online which took about 20 mins using data. The aquarium itself was ehhh, but to be fair I wasn't expecting it to be great given that it's in the basement of a mall. It was about average in terms of quality. Many empty tanks, and they have something to sell you around every corner to "enhance your visit",. I wasn't keen to do this after the initial experience at the beginning. They have about 4-5 add-ons that we witnessed other folks doing and I wouldn't recommend. The VR experience add-on looked fun, but then we saw two children getting motion sick from the headsets. The glass-bottom boat looked not to great, and they have a fish feeding add-on that was just as entertaining to watch as it was to feed. I think you can also pay to dive in one of the tanks, but i am not sure. I knew it would be smaller, but we were all a little surprised when we saw the gift shop so soon. We've been to bigger aquariums, so maybe we are ruined a bit from those larger more organized experiences.

Warning - if you ONLY want to visit the aquarium, you MUST book online. The ticket desk will not sell you a ticket unless it comes with entry to Madam Tussauds, and you will be asked if you want a myriad of extras. So decide what you want in advance and either book online in advance for a specific entry time slot (do NOT miss it, you won’t be allowed in if you are late) or be prepared to pay for the extras on site. I didn’t want any of the extras, wasn’t interested and certainly didn’t want to pay for a waxworks museum I wasn’t going to visit - so I had to book online after establishing the front desk couldn’t sell me ‘just’ an aquarium ticket on its own. As per a lot of reviews, it’s awful seeing the little penguins with seemingly no access to anywhere with natural light. No sign of any enrichment in their enclosure either. There’s just the pool and various sloped dry areas for them to walk around. This aquarium really ought to send these penguins to somewhere else more suitable for their welfare and replace the enclosure with more fish tanks. Or really step up the mental welfare and provide them with something other than feeding time to look forward to. This is what is really letting this place down. Penguins aside, it’s not a bad aquarium in itself - the larger tanks in particular are great to see. You get to walk through a tunnel and see sharks swimming overhead. Plenty of fish to see as well as jellyfish and sharks.

Been here for 3rd time in my life, recommended to book ticket via their website in advance to get more discount. This venue is located in the basement of Siam Paragon so the jam is quite terrible. Better get here by BTS if you wanna travel here during weekend. The queue on that day was quite a lot but the line was decreasing quite fast so not that long to wait. However, we encountered a group tour that day so there were quite a bit crowded than the day I was here before. But not that packed so still good to go. Every life species inside were super adorable especially the one in my pictures. Super cute. AND the coral here inside got no bleaching so I kinda got more teary when walking around. I really wanna see these original colors when I went diving too🥹🥹. Anyway, I can spend every seconds here for 5 hour straight without regret. The ticket could be used to get in for only one time but you can spend as long as you want inside. There is also snack and water selling inside. However, they only provided you 2 free parking hours (for 2 entrance tickets) so we were quite sad about this. I enjoyed every bit of my walking so recommend to come. The sea life inside is SUPER CUTE!
