Description: |

The Sixth Cycle Birthday Anniversary Celebration Aquarium is
located in the village number 7, Khlong Khud Sub-district, Tha
Mai District, Chanthaburi Province. It is situated in the area
of Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Center Project. The
aquarium was built in the occasion of the king’s 72 birthday
anniversary on December 5, 1999. At present, it becomes a
zoological garden and a famous aquarium in Chanthaburi. The
Sixth Cycle Birthday Anniversary Celebration Aquarium exhibits
the aquatic animals in 36 tanks in total, including the large
tanks. Most of the aquatic animals are salt-water fish in Kung
Krabaen Bay. The fish are divided into 4 groups; economic fish,
ornamental fish, fish in coral reefs, and strange-looking fish.
There are 4 parts for the exhibition. The first section is on
the left side of the building, mainly displaying edible fish,
such as sea bass, grouper, or blacktip reef shark which is
usually stir-fried in many dishes. As for the right side of the
building, The main focus is on ornamental fish, such as
lionfish, clownfish, diamond trevally, butterflyfish, bat
catfish, etc. These types of fish are very rare. However, the
most striking section to the visitors is in the large tank since
it is where the visitors can see school of fish swimming back
and forth, like being inside the glass tunnel under the deep
sea. Apart from these three sections that display the aquatic
animals, there is also the exhibition about malacology—the gem
under the deep sea. This section shows a number of beautifully
colorful and strange-looking shells. Direction: From the city
