The Chaloem Phra Kiat Aquarium is located within the Kung Krabaen Bay Royal Development Study Center, a project established for the study, research, and development of marine resource and environmental conservation. As such, it serves as an important educational resource concerning the ecosystem of Kung Krabaen Bay and various aquatic species. The exhibitions emphasize the life cycles of aquatic animals and the critical importance of conservation.

The key attraction of this aquarium is its modern and diverse displays, particularly the Fish Tunnel, which is long enough for visitors to walk through and marvel at large schools of marine fish swimming overhead. Additionally, there are tanks displaying beautiful and rare fish, sourced from both domestic freshwater bodies and the Gulf of Thailand. It truly showcases the biological richness of Chanthaburi Province.

A visit to the Chaloem Phra Kiat Aquarium offers an enriching experience suitable for all ages, especially families with children and youth, who can learn about aquatic life in a fun, hands-on manner.
