Looking for 50 of the above . Can anyone advise where to buy please.

Did search but surprisingly, to me at least, there has been nothing posted here about the aquarium within the zoo since 09 and that was only about discounts so allow me.

Being a keen angler I didn't hesitate when the other half informed she wanted to check the furry imports from China as have visited many aquariums around the world but not this one before.

The money bit-
Zoo/Aquarium- 810baht (farang/thai. Price close enough not to worry)
Bus: 70baht
Pandas: 150baht

So over 1,000baht for 3 hours which seems a bit heavy but you can get on and off the bus and spend the whole day there if you wish and there are plenty of food outlets to allow this. You don't have to take the bus and you can even take your car in but didn't notice the fee here.

Won't comment on the zoo as jumped on the bus and off at the panda house then walked the short distance to the aquarium. Later took the bus (had to wait 10 minutes then 3 come along same as London!) then out.

The aquarium. Overall not bad but as a new aquarium (2008) I was hoping for that sensational tank but never found it. Sure there's plenty of different species in evidence and I was elated to see golden dorado from Patagonia there (next on my 'to do' list after I learn to land a fly where intended) but I just had that is that it feeling as I exited. 

No dolphin pool which is a shame as this is always popular with youngsters but would imagine there's hefty expense here so possibly understandable.

Couple of negatives one easy to fix the other no chance. Signage is poor throughout and I found a toilet when heading to what I thought was the next level up. Unfortunately a mother and her 2 young kids followed me up what was a bloody steep ramp and like me quick shake of the head and back down.  The other for those that are physically challenged there are some stiff slopes to negotiate other than the toilet but I don't recall any steps so can be done. One other thing the travellator that runs through the walk in tank ain't travelling no more and for me I was glad as my head was spinning as soon as I looked through the curved glass but I am getting on a bit.

Overall. Well like the safari park we've come a very distant second to Singapore again and shame those that rule didn't concentrate on one class attraction as they have the pandas to pull the crowds in but there you go. Anyway glad I went along and excellent we have the aquarium here as there were plenty of kids there enjoying themselves.

Note aquarium alone is something like 390/250baht and you can pay this without the zoo fee if only visiting here but it's the same entrance.

Tip: If visiting the aquarium alone pay for the bus and get the lap of the zoo which takes maybe 30 minutes as it stops frequently.

Can anyone confirm what documents are required to allow a Thai national to secure an Indian tourist visa?

The IVAC web page only mentions "Generally issued on next working day". No mention of documentation.

Thanks

Heading back to India shortly and just enquiring as to value of JA business class. I believe its a 737 and dont mind paying as long as its decent. Anyone?

Any other recommendations for this route? Thai are 40% more than JA and often use the ancient business class seats.

Thanks
