I recently visited Underwater World Pattaya, and I must say it was an incredible experience! From the moment I entered, I was captivated by the sheer beauty and wonder of the marine world. It truly felt like stepping into another realm.
The variety of marine life on display is simply astonishing. From vibrant tropical fish to majestic sharks and graceful manta rays, every corner of this aquarium was teeming with fascinating creatures. The exhibits are thoughtfully designed, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with the marine inhabitants without compromising their safety.
One of the highlights of my visit was the mesmerizing walk-through tunnel. It felt like being surrounded by an underwater paradise as colorful fish and majestic sea turtles swam gracefully above me. The immersive experience was truly unforgettable.
The staff at Underwater World Pattaya were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about marine conservation. They were always ready to answer questions and provide interesting facts about the various species. It was evident that they genuinely cared about the well-being of the animals and the importance of educating visitors about marine ecosystems.
The facilities were clean, well-maintained, and conveniently organized. The signage and information boards were clear and informative, enhancing the educational aspect of the visit. There were also interactive exhibits and feeding sessions that added an extra layer of excitement to the experience.
Whether you're a marine enthusiast, a family with kids, or simply looking for a unique and awe-inspiring experience, I highly recommend visiting Underwater World Pattaya. It's a fantastic place to learn, appreciate the beauty of marine life, and gain a deeper understanding of our oceans.
My visit to Underwater World Pattaya left me with lasting memories and a renewed appreciation for the incredible biodiversity that exists beneath the waves. It's an absolute gem of an attraction and definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Pattaya.

Visiting Underwater World in Pattaya, Thailand, was an experience that left me both enchanted and reflective. This modern aquarium, nestled along Sukhumvit Road, promises a glimpse into the ocean’s depths, and it delivers—especially through its captivating fish feeding live shows, which are the undeniable highlight of the trip.
The feeding shows are a meticulously timed spectacle, drawing crowds to witness the underwater ballet of marine life. At the Coral Reef Zone (10:30 AM and 3:00 PM), I watched divers hand-feed vibrant schools of fish darting among colorful corals. The precision and grace were mesmerizing, as the fish swarmed in a kaleidoscope of motion, their scales glinting under the aquarium lights. Next, the Open Ocean Zone (11:00 AM and 4:00 PM) showcased the raw power of sharks and manta rays. Seeing a diver calmly offer food to these majestic predators through the 100-meter acrylic tunnel felt surreal—sharks gliding overhead, jaws opening with calculated ease, while rays flapped like underwater birds. The Giant of Siam Zone (11:30 AM and 3:30 PM) added a local twist, with massive freshwater fish like the arapaima gulping down their meals amid a shipwreck-themed tank. Each show lasted about 15-20 minutes, but the energy lingered, amplified by the staff’s educational commentary on marine behavior and conservation.
Beyond the shows, the aquarium’s 5,000+ animals across zones like the Jellyfish and Touch Pool areas were impressive, though some tanks appeared cramped and murky, hinting at maintenance struggles. At 500 baht for foreigners (versus 250 for locals), it’s a bit steep for the hour-long visit, but the feeding shows alone justify the cost. They’re a thrilling blend of nature and theater—perfect for families or anyone curious about the sea. Despite some upkeep concerns, Underwater World’s live feeding events make it a standout in Pattaya’s crowded attraction scene.

**Review of Underwater World Pattaya**
⭐️⭐️
I recently visited Underwater World Pattaya, hoping for a vibrant and engaging experience. Unfortunately, I left feeling quite disappointed.
Upon entering, I was expecting the immersive underwater atmosphere that the name promises. However, I was struck by the complete lack of the robust, salty smell of the ocean that typically envelops such attractions. Instead, there was an odd, stale scent throughout the facility that detracted from the experience. It felt more like an aquarium exhibit than a journey into an underwater world.
As for the marine life, I was genuinely surprised by the lack of colorful fish in the tanks. I had anticipated a dazzling display of biodiversity, but many of the tanks appeared sparse and uninspiring. The few fish that were present seemed dull and unremarkable, lacking the vibrant colors and lively movements that one might expect in a venue dedicated to oceanic life. It was disheartening to see so few species represented, and the overall atmosphere felt rather subdued.
Furthermore, some of the tanks were not well-maintained. A few appeared cloudy, which only amplified the lack of vibrancy in the exhibits. The overall layout of the underwater tunnels and tanks also felt somewhat cramped, making it difficult to fully appreciate the few fish that were present.
In summary, while Underwater World Pattaya has potential, it fell short of my expectations for an underwater adventure. It’s in dire need of improvements in both the sensory experience and the diversity of marine life showcased. I would recommend seeking out alternative attractions in Pattaya that offer a more authentic and colorful encounter with marine life.

49wThe ticket for entry to the aquarium is priced at 270 Thai Baht per person, which is a reasonable rate. However, it’s worth noting that if you opt to book your tickets in advance through the Klook App, you can enjoy even more affordable prices. The aquarium is conveniently located along the main road, making it easy to find and access. Given the size of the venue, it's advisable to wear comfortable footwear, as exploring the entire area can take a considerable amount of time. Upon entering...
