bearpolar Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's probably as boring as the one in siam paragon. 50b or 2000b still better to spend it at the other aquarium that ends on a nice litle beach with a turtle farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpolar Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 well there it is, the facebook pictures are online. After browsing through way too many picture of ugly narcissistic mid 30-40 yo women that try to take over every picture of the aquarium, i saw enough to know its definitely not worth more than 300b. It's way more expensive than way nicer places i've been to back home and Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way more expensive than way nicer places i've been to back home and Thailand. I`ve been yesterday. Used the opening promotional deal to take the family. 490 baht including the trickeye museum, which is different to the one in Phuket town and uses an app to animate the wall paitings. Have to say the aquarium was alright, but I was rather underwhelmed overall. The thing is advertised as the biggest in Thailand. But having been to Sealife in Bangkok I would say it`s quite a bit smaller. Maybe not in overall area but in terms of exhibition size. There are 2 pools that are quite nice to look at, a big one with the wreck of a submarine, but nothing that really wowed me. Been in and out in 45m and that was already stretching the time. The trickeye museum is a nice add-on for a few more minutes if the admission is included. Overall I am glad i got to see if for the discounted price as it`s not worth more than the 490 Baht I paid and certainly not 1290 Baht or whatever the farang price will be at.

It's called assessing the worth of something. Giving money to a blatantly overcharged place is not only bad for yourself, it encourages companies to keep building trash exhibits at crazy prices.

That so called "first world" experience isn't here! we are! therefore it is irrelevant. Two tier pricing is a separate issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been and was pretty under-whelmed by the experience for a number of reasons, HOWEVER, the kids loved it so for the money I spent for that period and that attraction I felt ok with my ROI. Not sure I would return, certainly not at "full price" but as a rainy day activity for my son with a deal style price then I may. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
