Siam Ocean World



Siam Ocean World, the 10,000-square-metre world-class aquarium occupying two levels of Siam Paragon, Bangkok’s newest upscale shopping destination, is billed as the largest aquarium in Southeast Asia. The project, which includes a 2.8 million litre Oceanarium, represents a significant investment of US$30 million by Oceanis Australia Group, the world’s largest aquarium owner and operator (ranked by number of customers and volume of displays) with more than 15 years experience in the aquarium business. The aquarium has the capacity to hold more than 4 million litres of water (equivalent to 3 Olympic swimming pools) and is described as “Thailand’s first and Southeast Asia’s biggest aquatic education and entertainment centre”. It showcases more than 30,000 marine animals and as many as 400 aquatic species. These include Seals, Blue Ringed Octopus, Ragged-tooth sharks, Stingrays, Leafy Sea Dragons, Giant Spider Crabs and others.
