When Haylie's Dad came to visit we went all out tourist :) Siam Ocean World is in down town Bangkok and has a collection of very interesting, large, rare, or just bazaar sea creatures.
This is a giant spider crab. It was at least 5 ft across. They had lobsters about the same size.
This tank was around 20 meters high! They had to have super special glass almost a foot thick for all the tanks because they hold so much water. There was so much to look at that it took us several hours to go through the place.
Lots of different star fish. This lady eventually convinced Haylie to hold the star fish until all its little feeler-feet came out. Weird/gross!
This is one of the many alien looking things we saw. It's a blind salamander. They said that this kind of salamander never grew out of its "tadpole" stage, so it lives the rest of its life with legs and fish tail. It also never develops eyes. There is just skin where the eyes should be.
