Siam Ocean World in Bangkok

Just got back from a  two weeks trip from Bangkok and HK. Bought Missus shopping and i got to play some golf in Bangkok. what can i say, Bangkok courses never fail to disappoint. and for the first time, i ma glad Bangkok is indeed cooler than Singapore. i left Singapore in the  middle of a heat wave. though i always prefer cold weather golf in China, i just got to make do with Bangkok as missus wanted to go there for shopping. Apparently all luxury goods such as LV, Gucci and Hermes could be 15% cheaper and more if you add in the recently strong sing dollar.

We spend 6 days in Bangkok and its vicinity but i am only going to blog about Aquarium related stuff here. leave the wallet damaging shopping aside and golf is another matter altogether. only one who play golf will know what i am talking about anyway.

I have the pleasure of visiting Siam Ocean world located at the Basement of the massive Siam paragon. entrance fee is 900baht which works out to about $40 Sing. here are some pictures that i took. it is my 2nd time to ocean world and i must say they do maintain their standards and fishes variety. compared to out underwater world, Sentosa should be sent to the police for being a rip off. i managed to do the ocean walk this time round which was totally amazing. you get suited up in a wetsuit complete with underwater helmet and they will take you on a underwater walk in the aquaria with the chance to feed the fishes and get up close with sharks.

Here are a few selected pictures
