Siam Ocean World


We have Tuesdays off from work. For the past couple months, Tuesdays have not been true days off becuase Paul has been busy...so instead of staying home this past week, we decided we needed to get out as a family and do something fun. We headed to Siam Paragon's Ocean World. A very well done acquarium in the basement of the luxurious Siam Paragon mall in the heart of Bangkok. We made a day of it and it was a blast. We got to ride the sky train which is always a big treat for both boys and we even treated ourselves to Subway...yah know the restaurant that serves yummy subs. You may be thinking this isn't much of a treat, but for us, it really is. Subway stores are located in the city center of Bangkok and not in the outlying areas, such as Ram 2...anyway, it was good! I got to eat a turkey sub and Paul got his favorite..roast beef.
So, we headed to the basement and entered the acquarium. The most favorite creature of the sea that we saw was the nurse sharks and reef sharks that lurk throughout the acquarium. Of course, PJ and Calvin were fascinated when the scubadivers fed the sharks right in front of them in the big tank. We also learned what a shark "egg" looks like and we even got to see many baby sharks.
And, even Adele really enjoyed our outing. She had a lot of visual stimulation and wanted to see all the brightly colored fish and creatures and coral.
It was a great day off even if we were a bit tired at the end of it, at least we were together, enjoying some of God's creation together.
