Sea Life Bangkok – Honest & Personal Review 🐠🦈🚤
During my recent trip to Bangkok, I visited Sea Life Bangkok, located on Basement Level -1 of Siam Paragon Mall. It's a great indoor attraction if you’re looking to escape the heat or enjoy a quiet morning in the city center.
I chose the combo ticket which included:
✔️ Sea Life Aquarium
✔️ Madame Tussauds Wax Museum
✔️ 4D Cinema – a short but fun animated movie about animals, with moving seats and effects (great for kids!)
The total cost was around 1,700 THB, and while that’s not cheap, the experience was enjoyable overall.
But the real highlight?
Absolutely the Glass Bottom Boat Ride – a short but magical experience where you float over a massive tank filled with rays, sharks, and colorful fish.
Important: This is NOT included in the standard ticket – it’s an extra, but honestly worth every baht.
I highly recommend doing it early in the morning when there’s no queue and the atmosphere is calm and quiet. It really made the whole visit more special.
What I liked:
The glass tunnel – always fascinating to walk through
Penguins, jellyfish, and interactive zones
The 4D cinema adds a fun touch to the visit
Glass Boat: short but totally worth the extra!
What to consider:
The entire aquarium can be visited in 2 to 3 hours
It’s smaller than other aquariums I’ve seen in Italy or Spain, and more expensive
Being inside a shopping mall, space is limited
Final Thoughts:
Sea Life Bangkok is a well-maintained, modern, and fun experience, especially if paired with Madame Tussauds and the 4D movie.
But if you go, don’t miss the Glass Bottom Boat – it was the best part of the whole visit.
Rating: 7.5/10
Pro Tip: Go early, avoid the crowds, and upgrade your ticket to include the Glass Boat – you won’t regret it!
