Safari World Bangkok

Buy tickets online in advance. Walk-in prices are 30% higher and sessions sell out.
Siam Ocean World
One of Southeast Asia's largest aquariums, located in the basement of Siam Paragon. Walk through an underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks, rays, and thousands of tropical fish.
The glass-bottom boat ride is worth the extra 200 baht. Kids love seeing sharks swim beneath their feet.
Dream World Bangkok
Bangkok's biggest amusement park with themed zones including Snow World, a massive indoor snow park where kids can touch real snow for the first time.
Go on a Wednesday or Thursday - weekends see 50,000+ visitors and queues hit 45 minutes per ride.
SEA LIFE Bangkok Ocean World
One of Southeast Asia's largest aquariums, housed beneath Siam Paragon mall. Walk through the 270-degree ocean tunnel surrounded by sharks, rays, and sea turtles.
