Ocean World is a large aquarium in the center of Bangkok where visitors can enjoy the sight of impressive and beautiful marine animals as giant crabs, stingrays and sharks from up close. The aquarium provides a memorable experience and a fun outing for the whole family and a chance to see thousands of fish and other aquatic animals in an air conditioned and cool environment at a very easy to reach location in the center of Bangkok.
Large variety of aquatic life
The aquarium harbors an amazing variety of aquatic life including sharks, stingrays, penguins, sea horses, colorful corals and tropical fish. The well laid out aquarium is divided in sections, each with a different theme. Next to the exhibits are information boards in Thai and English.
Exhibits with different themes
The first exhibit on entering Ocean World is the Rocky Hideout where several enormous crabs and octopuses live. At the Coral Reef visitors can admire the variety of colors and shapes both of many species of corals as well as tropical fish such as the orange and white clownfish and the venomous lionfish.

Fish of the Tropical Rainforest
A number of large fish species live at the Tropical Rainforest, an area that looks like a lush jungle with waterfalls. Among the fish that live here are several species from the Amazon rainforest like the Arapaima, the largest freshwater fish in the world that can reach a length of up to 15 feet.
Walk between the fish in the Ocean Tunnel
One of Ocean World’s highlights is the Ocean Tunnel that gives one the feeling of walking on the ocean floor. See from up close large sharks, stingrays and schools of tropical fish. Walk through a glass tunnel surrounded by water towards the Tropical Ocean, a huge aquarium with the “Ship wreck”, a man made sunken ship where several species of sharks hang out.
Another place to watch sharks is the Shark Walk where you walk over a transparent floor over a tank where several species of sharks live including leopard shark, sand tiger shark, white spotted and blacktip reef shark.
