Underwater World Pattaya in Chonburi Province is one of the city’s most unique attractions, combining entertainment with education in a seamless way. The highlight here is the 105-meter acrylic tunnel that gives visitors a 180-degree panoramic view, creating the feeling of walking under the sea without getting wet. Inside, the aquarium is divided into themed zones that present the diversity of marine ecosystems in the Gulf of Thailand.

 

The first section is the Coral Reef Zone, where colorful reefs and tropical fish such as butterflyfish, angel fish, and other rare species create a vibrant display. This zone not only pleases the eye but also emphasizes the importance of coral reef conservation, an ecosystem increasingly threatened by human activities. The next is the Shark and Ray Zone, where visitors can marvel at predators of the sea like different species of sharks and majestic stingrays gliding gracefully overhead. Walking through this tunnel evokes the excitement of being surrounded by the real ocean. The final section is the Shipwreck Zone, designed to simulate the remains of a sunken vessel, now transformed into a haven for groupers, pomfrets, and other species that use shipwrecks as natural shelters. This display reflects the coexistence between human creations and marine life, highlighting how abandoned structures can become part of the ocean’s ecosystem.

 

Beyond the tunnel, another highlight that fascinates visitors is the feeding shows, held at various times throughout the day. Divers feed sharks, rays, and other marine creatures in front of the audience, making it an unforgettable experience, especially for children. In addition, there are interactive areas like the Touch Pool, where visitors can safely touch certain sea creatures such as starfish, and the Magic Tank, designed with interactive concepts that make marine exploration even more engaging.

 

Underwater World also focuses on learning and awareness. Exhibits provide information about marine species, ecosystems, and environmental conservation in a way that is accessible to all ages, turning a family trip into an educational adventure.

 

The attraction is open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with last entry at 5:30 PM. Feeding shows are scheduled at set times: Coral Reef Zone at 10:30 AM and 3:00 PM, Shark & Ray Zone at 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM, and the Giant of Siam Zone at 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM. Ticket prices are currently 550 THB for adults (over 131 cm in height), 320 THB for children (91–130 cm), while children under 91 cm can enter free of charge. Facilities include restaurants, cafés, souvenir shops, restrooms, parking, and wheelchair accessibility, making the venue suitable for all types of visitors. Located on Sukhumvit Road in Nong Prue, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi, it is easy to reach by car or public transport, with on-site parking available.

 

Underwater World Pattaya is therefore more than just a tourist attraction. It is a place where the wonders of the Gulf of Thailand’s marine life are presented in a way that is accessible, educational, and memorable. Visitors leave not only with enjoyment and lasting impressions but also with a deeper awareness of the need to preserve marine ecosystems for future generations.
