Visitor Reviews

A great place to learn about local marine life! Lots of native fish species and different zones to explore. The fish tunnel was super cool, and there’s even a marine breeding and conservation center out back, which was a nice surprise. Really enjoyed my visit fun, educational, and relaxing. Some display areas could use a bit more life (a few tanks felt a bit empty), but overall it’s a lovely spot. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re in the area!

Very nice aquarium with a lot of marine life. Quite a few different species. Pleasant environment to spend half an hour to an hour.

Excellent education about sea and it's inhabitants and how many with his callous selfishness is destroying the seabed and it's habitats by pollution of different time. It has English commentary and Thai explanations for different creatures of sea. Children seemed quite happy and so we're grown ups. Ticket 300 Baht for tourists and 200 for locals. There is a souvenir shop and cafeteria. Just on the sea. Really appreciated it.

Tips for Visiting Activities & Tours

Vet Elephant Sanctuaries

Only visit sanctuaries that prohibit riding, use no chains or bullhooks, and let elephants roam freely. Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai set the standard. If a place offers painting shows or circus tricks, walk away.

Book Through Klook or GetYourGuide

These platforms offer instant confirmation, free cancellation on most activities, and prices that are often lower than walk-up rates. Compare with local agencies for multi-day trips where negotiation might save more.

Do Outdoor Activities in the Morning

Heat and humidity peak from noon to 3 PM. Schedule jungle treks, cycling tours, and outdoor cooking classes for early morning. Water activities are more flexible since you're in and out of the sea.
