| PATTAYA - Under water world |
See the wonders of
the deep without getting wet Underwater World
Pattaya says Pattaya’s newest tourist attraction
is the largest and most modern ocean aquarium in
Asia, boasting a 100-meter-long,
6.4-centimeter-thick acrylic pedestrian tunnel
through an underwater environment filled with
dozens of marine species. Located just 200 meters
south of Tesco Lotus in South Pattaya, the new
theme park covers a total area of 12-rai and is
housed in a structure similar to a large circus
tent. “This enables the place to have natural
light that nurtures the algae,” said Bruce Mackay,
the head curator. “The aquarium houses more than
4,000 marine animals, comprising more than 200
different species from the region as well as some
rare creatures from overseas,” added David Hong,
general manager and an investor in the project.
Hong stressed visitors must-see the rare
shovelnose ray, a hybrid between a shark and a
stingray. “There are three of them at the aquarium
that we purchased from local fishermen, who
normally kill them for consumption,” he said. The
oceanarium is owned by Underwater World Pattaya
Ltd and managed by Sovereign Marketing, a
subsidiary of Singapore’s Haw Par Group.
Marinescape took 17 months to construct the
4,200-square-meter center.
