People might think that I don't work because of my unending travel posts in Thailand. I do and part of de stressing is to go around and explore interesting places. One of them is Bueng Chawark Underwater Sea Paradise in Suphan Buri, around 160 kms. from Bangkok.
I didn't bother going to the adjacent zoo or the vegetable garden as it was at noon. It was quite sunny and humid so going to an air-conditioned aquarium place was more inviting.
The Bueng Chawark Aquarium was established under a project in honour of His Majesty the King. There are three buildings to visit where freshwater and marine fish from Thailand and elsewhere can be found.

There is this 400 metres aquarium tank that greets you as you enter the biggest building. It is a photo opp but challenging as you need to kneel to get a good shot.

This 8.5 metres long transparent tunnel is home to some bigger fish and sharks. The addition of a sunken boat adds to the mystery of the deep.

Housed in one of the smaller buildings, these assortment of marine and freshwater fish was one of the crowded areas that day. There wasn't any entrance fee to see them unlike in the tunnel.

The view from the entrance of Bueng Chawark Aquarium. It leaves me in awe to see how serene and aesthetically pleasing the area is considering that this was opened in 2009.
Have a lovely weekend!

I have not been to the one in Manila. I think they will be the same wherever. The city of Bangkok has one beautiful and well taken cared aquarium place. And I had been to many in different parts of Asia as well so in a way I pity the fish and the sharks. Thanks for the visit Cristine.
ReplyDeleteLolz ako kahit manila ocean part di pa ako nakakapunta hehehe
ReplyDeleteAko rin but have no intention of going though, he,he,he.
ReplyDeleteYeah I was also wondering if you owned a local tour agency and could go visiting non stop. I remember seeing this quaint town Suphan Buri which has a huge dragon. Did you see that too? I wonder if you could speak Thai very well now?
