The island's original aquarium, opened in 1983 and run by the Phuket Marine Biological Center, a government research station. It focuses on the Andaman Sea's own marine life, with a short walk-through tunnel and sea turtles the centre rescues and cares for. It is smaller and older than Aquaria, but a fraction of the price.
Worth knowing
It is about 20 minutes from Phuket Town and pairs well with lunch at the Cape Panwa seafood restaurants. Do not confuse it with Aquaria, the newer and much more expensive aquarium in Central Phuket Floresta.
