The areas in the aquarium, in the order you pass through them

What you see in each one, and where it's worth lingering

The Ocean Tunnel at Sea Life Bangkok
The Ocean Tunnel at Sea Life Bangkok

The Ocean Tunnel It's the heart of the place, a 270-degree glass corridor that runs inside the large tank, with sharks, stingrays, and large sea fish swimming overhead and from the sides. This is the area where most visitors stop for the longest time.

The shark trail It's a glass floor you walk on, and the sharks pass underneath. Those afraid of heights won't have trouble here, the distance is small and underneath there's water, not air.

Stingray Bay is dedicated to stingrays and flatfish, and it's shallow and wide so you can see them from above. In Seahorse Kingdom There are small tanks with different species, and this is an area that requires a quiet stop to even see them.

Penguin Adventure It recreates an Antarctic environment with Gentoo, Adelie, and Chinstrap penguins. The area is cooled, and the penguins are mostly active around feeding times.

And alongside them The jellyfish area with changing lighting, The rainforest with fish, reptiles, and amphibians, and The touch pools where you can touch starfish and sea urchins under staff supervision.

When to arrive and worth knowing

Hours, crowding, and restrictions

The aquarium is usually open between 10:00 and 20:00, with last entry at 19:00. The early morning hours are the quietest, in the afternoon and on weekends the tunnel gets crowded.

No re-entry After leaving the venue, so it's best to plan your visit in one go and not step out to eat in the middle.

No smoking, eating, drinking, or bringing animals, and in some areas flash photography is not allowed, it disturbs the animals.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, rental chairs are available, and a caregiver for a person with a disability enters free of charge. It is also accessible for a baby stroller.

Throughout the day there are Shows and feedings at fixed times. The schedule is displayed at the entrance, and it's worth checking it upon arrival and planning around it.

The add-ons: and which of them are worth it

Four options, and not all at the same level

The glass-bottom boat It sails above the main tank, and from it you see the sharks and stingrays from above through the floor. This is the add-on that most complements the visit, because it gives you the same tank from a second angle.

The 4D film It's a short screening with physical effects, water, wind, and moving seats. It's short, and it works well with children.

The VR experience It means sitting down while wearing a headset. It has real medical restrictions and the operator lists them explicitly, it's worth reading them before booking, not at the gate.

The printed photo It's a hard copy of the entrance photo. It's the most expensive of the add-ons and isn't an experience, it's a souvenir.

You can add them at booking or purchase them on site, and our price is lower than the price at the ticket counter.

Location, combinations, and how much time to allocate

Everything in the same complex

Sea Life is located On the basement floor of Siam Paragon, in the heart of the Siam area. It's directly connected to the light rail station Siam, and this is the fastest and most convenient way to get there.

This location is its biggest advantage: You can combine it with Madame Tussauds, which is located in Siam Discovery within walking distance, and do both on the same day.

The visit itself lasts An hour and a half to two and a half hours, depending on how long you linger in the tunnel and the pools.

The aquarium is fully air-conditioned and indoors, and that's why it's a good solution for a rainy day or the hot afternoon hours.

Around it there's the whole mall, restaurants, cafes, and shops, so it's easy to turn it into a full day.
