About Phuket Aquarium

A small, inexpensive aquarium at the tip of Cape Panwa, run by a marine research station. Tanks hold local sea life and animals the centre has rescued, there is a short tunnel and a turtle hatchery out the back. Tickets are 300 baht for foreign adults; with children it makes a good rainy-day trip.
