This is one of Thailand’s leading attractions and is highly recommended. Siam Ocean World is split into 7 sections, each focussing on the flora and fauna of a different ocean environment: Glass tunnels run long the floor of some of the larger tanks allowing an up close view of sharks, sting rays and other fish. There are also interactive activities such as glass bottom boat trips, diving with sharks, and the Ocean Walker experience which involves diving in a helmet with air pumped from above like the old time divers. There is also an educational element with a 'backroom tour' available where staff show visitors how the fish are cared for and explain the centre’s breeding programme.
