In Bangkok, besides being temp

In Bangkok, besides being tempted by the coconut ice and hot and sour soup on the street, I also visited the city's most popular aquarium, Siam Ocean World Bangkok, and also indulged in four delicious Thai dishes nearby! Thai cuisine and the magical underwater world are the kind of combination that'll have you snapping away! You'll be captivated by both your eyes and your taste buds!

🌊 Highlights of Siam Ocean World Bangkok
Siam Ocean World Bangkok is conveniently located in the heart of the city, within the Siam Paragon department store, just a short stroll from the BTS Siam Station. Often cited by locals and tourists as a "must-see attraction for families and couples in the city," this aquarium is not only the largest metropolitan aquarium in Southeast Asia, but also boasts one of the most comprehensive marine life exhibits in the world. Be captivated by the transparent underwater tunnel, giant shark tank, and underwater shows—where you can actually see sharks through the glass—it's incredibly thrilling! There's also a fun animal exhibit area, where you can even see penguins.

🍤 Eat, Drink, and Play: Recommended Restaurants in Siam Paragon
After visiting the aquarium, there's a comprehensive food court upstairs at Siam Paragon, or you can check out the restaurants in the lobby nearby. This time, I chose four dishes: spicy shrimp, deep-fried spring rolls, Thai-style spicy and sour fish, and a Tom Yum Goong hot pot. The authentic Thai cuisine lived up to its reputation: the shrimp were generously sized, the spring rolls were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the hot pot was both sour and spicy. After every bite, I was completely blown away! For a quick lunch, head to Siam Paragon Food Court. For a more atmospheric dinner, find nearby neighborhood restaurants specializing in home-style Thai cuisine, which are both delicious and affordable.
