Samui Aquarium & Tiger Show is a popular tourist attraction located on the island of Koh Samui in Thailand. This family-friendly venue offers visitors the chance to see a variety of marine life and exotic animals, most notably its collection of tigers. The aquarium showcases the vibrant underwater world that surrounds the island, with displays of colorful fish, coral formations, and other sea creatures native to the Gulf of Thailand. The tiger show is one of the main highlights, featuring Bengal tigers and leopards in a series of performances. However, it's worth noting that the ethics of such shows are often debated due to concerns about animal welfare. The facility also includes a bird park where guests can interact with tropical birds. Despite its entertaining aspects, visitors are encouraged to research and consider the conditions in which the animals are kept before deciding to visit, as animal rights organizations often scrutinize such attractions.

We had a poor experience! There are some special birds and fish to see, but the parts that left us with a really bad taste were :
1) they commited some sort of scam . they charge 100 bht for 1 printe..
There was no show when we were there, the aquarium was a dismal tunnel and the zoo had very small cages for the animals. Also hated the thought of the photo with a Tiger so refused to do that!
