Siam Ocean World


Have you been at Siam Ocean World?

On Friday 25 January, my friends and I went to Siam Paragon. At first we planned to see a movie named “Enchanted” but Bank did not come with us so we changed the program. After we had lunch already, we took many photos at Siam Paragon. Then we went to Siam Ocean World, the highlight of this month is an octopus that they frozen in -10c degree.





Siam Ocean World is the underwater in Southeast Asia’s largest aquarium among 400 extraordinary species of sea animals. There are many rare animals such as the ragged-tooth shark, magnificent rays, graceful sea jellies, penguins and etc. There is the glass bottom boat that immerses you into the gorgeous scenery. The especially is scuba that you can enjoy an experience with their professional scuba instructor’s who will guide you though an exciting dive side by side various type of sharks, rays and other colorful fishes.

Siam Ocean World divided into 7 zones.

First Zone is Weird and wonderful. : The animal in this zone are all unique and even bizarre such as Pharaoh Cuttlefish, Horseshoe Crab, Weedy Sea dragon and etc.




Second Zone is Deep Reef.
: The Deep Reef Zone displays some of most beautiful and fascinating reef inhibiters in the world such as Three-Spot Angelfish, Long-nose Unicorn fish, Hump head Maori Wrasse and etc.



Third Zone is Living Ocean.
: This zone explains about the rules of survival that animals must find food, protect themselves against predators, adapt to the environment, and reproduce such as Mantis Shrimp, Stonefish, Sargassum Angelfish and etc.






Forth Zone is Rainforest.
: The rainforest is a very complex ecosystem. There are the world’s largest fresh water fishes and other animals such as the ancient lungfish, blind cave fish, giant water rat, playful otter and primitive reptiles such as Mekong Giant Catfish, Oriental Small-clawed Otter and etc.







Fifth Zone is Rocky Shore.
: The animals of this zone are required to have special adaptation skills to survive the pounding waves, intense sunlight, and keen-eyed predators such as Spotted Seal, Red Sea Star and etc.


Sixth Zone is Open Ocean.
: This zone shows the weak relationship between predators and preys in the open ocean. There are large predatory sharks, rays, and giant groupers live alongside schools if fish such as Golden Trevally, Slander Suckerfish and etc.





Seventh Zone is Sea Jellies
: This zone is about the sea jellies that are amazing and mysterious creatures with no brain, no skeletal and few internal organs. They are the one of the most widespread species on earth such as moon jelly.

I was impressive about sixth zone “Open Ocean” because I had been dream that I want to see the real sharks which I had been see it in the television. I felt scared when I saw the sharks because they is very big and look like ferocious.
