Most of today was spent at Siam Ocean World, a great place for kids. We purchased the super package which includes a Back of the House tour, the Glass Bottom Boat ride, Happy Fish Happy Feet (dead skin eating fish), the 4D X-Venture show and free pepsi and popcorn (which we didn't redeem cos we didn't feel like having any). It wasn't cheap, but we managed to get a 20% discount with our Thai Airways boarding pass. Still it amounted to about SGD30 per pax. It was something Meg was looking forward to since we left home and needless to say, she was all excited and wouldn't stop chattering all morning until we arrived at the place. This is probably our third or fourth time there, and it's still a pretty amazing place to us. Well worth a visit!
Shark attack!
Tourists can swim with the sharks for a price. When we were there, two Caucasians were in the tank and having a thrilling time.
Yen and his antics.
These spotted garden eels live in sandy burrows and expose two-thirds of their bodies when they are feeding but quickly retreat back into the sand when they are disturbed. Fascinating to watch!
The jelly fish display is set in a darkened room with classical music emitting from a Bang & Olufsen sound system. There are cushions placed in the centre of the room where one can lay down, and watch the jellyfish dance to the music. Quite therapeutic and relaxing.
Happy Fish Happy Feet, is what this is called. I guess the fish are happy cos they're having a wonderful meal, picking at all our dead skins...but I couldn't take it and was out within two minutes. It was too ticklish...but at least I tried it once...It'll probably be my last time.
Yen loved it though...he doesn't have ticklish feet!SIAM PARAGON
Our hotel is just a five-minute walk to Siam Paragon. Such a convenience when we need to pop back into the room to freshen up or to leave our shopping bags. Its gourmet market and the food hall are the main draws. There's a huge variety of food available and one is really spoilt for choice. The gourmet market, though a little on the pricey side, also has a wonderful variety of Thai delicacies and fresh fruits. Other interesting shops at Siam Paragon that we usually visit are "True Urbanpark", a really well designed and cool place and Kinokuniya.
Nice evening light at the plaza outside the building.
Walking from Siam Center next door to Siam Paragon.
Enjoying getting wet!
Yen trying to look cool in his shades and black tshirt...duh...not in those bermudas!
