Overview

Underwater World Pattaya is a modern oceanarium featuring a 105-meter long acrylic pedestrian tunnel that passes through multiple marine zones. The facility houses over 4,000 marine animals representing more than 200 species from the Gulf of Thailand and surrounding regions. It is organized into distinct zones including a Coral Reef zone, a Shark and Ray zone, and a Giant of Siam tank. The aquarium offers structured shark and ray diving programs for certified divers. Visitors can observe daily feeding sessions for various species, including otters and sharks. The layout facilitates a unidirectional flow from freshwater river environments to deep-sea reef ecosystems. Educational exhibits focus on marine conservation and the biodiversity of Thai coastal waters.

Insider tips

Check the daily feeding schedule upon entry, as these events are the most active periods for the larger sharks and rays.

Prioritize visiting the tunnel section immediately upon arrival to avoid congestion during peak mid-day tourist hours.

Wear comfortable footwear, as the path through the tunnel and aquarium zones involves significant walking.

What to avoid

Avoid purchasing extra food from unauthorized vendors in the parking area for animals inside the facility.

Etiquette

Refrain from using flash photography in the tunnel, as the bright light reflects off the acrylic and disturbs the animals.
