Pattaya’s most exciting aquarium, Underwater World brings a slice of the deep ocean on shore in a series of exhibits that take you from the sandy beaches to the shallow rock pool.
Underwater World features some 2,500 marine animals, comprising more than 200 species from the region as well as overseas, including sharks, sea otters, stingray and rare shovelnose ray – a hybrid between a shark and stingray. The journey begins at the ‘Touch Pool’, where you can feel the skin of bamboo sharks, sea cucumbers, turtles, blue-spotted stingrays, starfish and lobsters.
The reef tank showcases colorful reefs, corals and the symbiosis of undersea plants, anemones and fish. From here, the underground water tunnel opens into the depths of the marine world. Meet the sharks, stingrays, hovelnose rays, giant groupers and a host of predators and prays that inhabit the ocean’s depths.
Apart from the aquarium section, the live feeding shows are great fun, especially for children.
