Deep to the blue sea. Amazing underwater world. Feeling beyond imagination. Exclusive experience. If you can touch. Are you ready? The big underwater world.
Introducing to you, Chiang Mai Zoo Aquarium is a living museum that boasts South East Asia’s largest and most spacious underwater pathway.
Exhibit various showcases of distinct environments that allow freshwater and saltwater creatures to coexist under one roof, alongside representative territories from other significant ecosystems. The inspiration for this astonishing concept comes from the great Mekong River, displayed at the aquarium, as it represents the major waterway that feeds and quenches the thirst of millions of people across the six neighboring countries whose water it sustains.
The total project area covers 4 acres, housing 13,958 square meters. The Aquarium features the only underwater exhibit that joins both fresh water and salt water environments, linked together with a 133-meter walkway.
The tunnel is the longest in the world at 133 meters, which can be divided into a salt water underwater tunnel covering 66.5 meters and a fresh water underwater tunnel that covers 66.5 meters, which is the world’s longest underwater fresh water tunnel.
The all–acrylic tunnel is 2.5 inches thick and able to accommodate water pressure to a depth of 5 meters with complete safety. The Aquarium offers over 20,000 examples of freshwater and saltwater life forms. There are more than 250 different aquatic species. Showcases feature freshwater species found in the tropical rainforests of Asia and the Amazon.
