Phuket Aquarium

By leaving Phuket in a southerly direction crossroads are reached from which Sakdidet Road (Highway 4023) turns off. Makham Bay (Ao Makham), the Marine Biology Research Centre investigating the life-style and conditions of the sea's fauna, where fish and other sea creatures are kept in enormous aquariums, is located at the end of this road (a farther 6 km (4 mi.)). A tour of the research station can be undertaken if an advance booking is made (tel. 391126).
