Aquarium Bungchawak Thailand 🇹🇭

Bueng Chawak (Thai: บึงฉวาก, pronounced [bɯ̄ŋ t͡ɕʰā.wàːk]) or full name Bueng Chawak Chaloem Phra Kiat (บึงฉวากเฉลิมพระเกียรติ, [bɯ̄ŋ t͡ɕʰā.wàːk t͡ɕʰā.lɤ̌ːm pʰráʔ kìa̯t]) is a natural freshwater lake in central Thailand. It has an area of 2,700 rais (1,067 acres), covering the area of the sub-districts Pak Nam, Doem Bang and Hua Khao of Doem Bang Nang Buat District, Suphan Buri Province all the way to the sub-district of Ban Chian, Hankha District, Chai Nat Province. The lake is approximately 64 km (39.8 mi) north of Suphan Buri City. The lake was declared a non-hunting area in 1983. In 1996, on the occasion of the 50-year reign of King Rama IX, the government developed this area as a tourist attraction in honour of the King's golden jubilee. A public aquarium, as well as a zoo and bird park, have opened. In 1998, the government registered Bueng Chawak as an important wetland under the Ramsar Convention. The surrounding lake is beautiful and shady. A large flock of migrating lesser whistling ducks and other waterfowl fly in during the cool season from November to March, and depart again in April. On the shores of the lake, bungalow-style accommodation is available to tourists.[1]
