Nong Khai Aquarium

It was good experience. I assume can do diving there but did not see the price. If you have Thai driving licence can pay Thai price. Thai people 70 THB Foreigners 150 THB Worth to show your Thai driving licence 😉😉😉 Close to main gate caffe where you can order good local price food.

Nong Khai Aquarium is a fun and educational spot, especially if you enjoy learning about freshwater fish and aquatic life from the Mekong River and other regions. The tanks are well-maintained, and it’s easy to see a variety of colorful and interesting fish up close. The aquarium is compact, so it’s perfect for a short visit with family or friends. It’s also very kid-friendly, with informative displays that make it easy to understand more about the local ecosystem. If you’re in Nong Khai and looking for a casual, interesting outing, Nong Khai Aquarium is worth stopping by. It’s simple, informative, and a nice way to learn a bit more about the region’s aquatic life.

We stopped on the way to the border. Some of the aquariums had algae on the glass, which obstructed the view. The glass could use cleaning. I didn't like the double prices. Thai people pay little, but for foreign tourists the price is high.

We visited the Nong Khai Aquarium last two week ago with our kid and had a really enjoyable time.The tunnel tank was the definite highlight for all of us! Walking through the glass tunnel with giant fish, and other Mekong River fish swimming overhead was fantastic. Overall, we had a great family experience. It’s a fun, educational, and cool.

My experience was OK. Little kids seemed to enjoy though. Many empty and dirty tanks. Started with paying more money for myself than the rest of the family, because I am a foreigner. But...that seems to be the norm with most National Parks and sites (my limited experience over the past year). Even my Thai family doesn't understand why we don't pay the same price. There are some cool things to see in the glass tunnel. Overall, has a lot of potential. Just needs some TLC.

I visited the Nong Khai Aquarium during my sightseeing tour of Udon Thani province. It has got a good collection of fish species such as predatory fish, species inhabiting coral reefs, commercially important fish and many more from various parts of the world. You can see some interesting species from the Mekong River and some critically endangered fish as well. It is worthwhile to visit this Aquarium if you are in this area.

I visited this aquarium with my friends. We started from Nong Khai station and booked a Grab car to get there. Since it was our first time in Nong Khai, the distance from the station to the aquarium felt quite far. Considering the hot weather in Thailand, taking a car was definitely the best option. The aquarium is located on Nong Khai Campus, Khon Kaen University. We had to pay an entrance fee upon arrival. As university students, we showed our student cards to get a discount. Inside, the aquarium was clean, and the air conditioning made it very comfortable. The variety of fish was impressive, especially the species from the Mekong River. Each tank was clearly labeled with information, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Near the exit, there’s a souvenir stand where we could take a break. Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to others.

The fish are mainly those found in the Mekong River which is informative enough but there are no colourful fish. The show consists of a diver going into the massive aquarium and feeding the same fish which swarm around him.
