If there's anything of interest in the above cut and paste nonsense....someone summarise it.
Sharks, there are three types of sharks in Paragon Aquarium.
Leopard Sharks (though I suspect it is not a proper leopard shark, but a zebra nurse shark, common in Thai waters, but often wrongly called a leopard shark, due to it's colouring which is far more like a leopard that an actual leopard shark)
White Tipped Reef Sharks
Ragged Tooth Sharks
All safe to dive with, in fact there were divers in the water today.
Hope that clarifies.
Five types of Ferrari and one Maserati, none of which I could afford, though one was the highly popular Ferrari Testosterone.

Its a Lambourghini not a Maserati. The Maserati are all at Emporium.
I used to have a Maserati in London and the local yobs would always smash my windows and steal the clock. It was a pretty clock but not that impressive (unless of course you are easily impressed). It used to cost UKP350 to replace.
The underwater world in Siam Paragon is very impressive and well worth the entrance fee in my opinion.

There is a Maserati in Siam Paragon...noticable by the distinctive Masarati logo on the front. It was parked with two Ferraris, maybe not the day you were there, but certainly the day I was there.
Presumably waiting to be moved into the as yet unfinished Maserati display area, the one with MASERATI written in large letters across it.
Hope that clears it up....
edit: of course one of the one's I took to be a Ferrari, may have been a Lambowhatsit.....

They are in fact Leopard sharks... I can confirm this because we handled the Customs work on them so we had access to the documentation. They were flown in from S. Africa in aerated tanks.... at considerable expense as you can imagine....
Siam Ocean World is world class... given that it is not in/near a marine environment (like Sydney, Seattle, San Diego, etc) so you get plastic seaweed instead of the real thing. It's a massive facility, and worth every penny of the entrance fee (which is cheap by international standards but far too expensive for most Thais).

Maseratti... there sure are a bunch of them in Paragon, including an awesome sedan I didn't know... just too sad AP and cars and laws don't make a suitable match...
Quite a nice shopping mall, no idea wether it's a financially sound project but a cool touch in the BKK's landscape. Very impressive aquarium as well... first floors were frozen though and we had to leave for a while so cold we fell. At least a place where one can wear a suit comfortably in BKK...Sitting right now by the pool BTW and even outside is freezing... world must be indeed nearing its end...

Besides I've noticed in horror that most of you hooligans are fooling around with the spelling of car brands brought to you directly from paradise...
it's Maseratti and Lamborghini.
And Abrak I feel for your car's window... it's often an unfortunate idea to leave beautiful toys out in street...

Report from The Nation dated 23 December 2005 :
New Year Special: Top malls rise to Paragon’s challenge
This year has been one of major renovation and re-branding at leading shopping malls along Sukhumvit Road. The change is part of their “defensive” strategy to meet the challenge posed by the new Siam Paragon complex, which opened earlier this month and is expected to pressure the margins of the six big malls in the area:
Central World Plaza, Gaysorn Shopping Centre, Erawan Bangkok, Siam Centre, Siam Discovery Centre, and Mah Boon Krong Centre. Each shopping complex is now sporting its own unique concept and theme.
Central Pattana Plc recently announced the launch of its Central World retail complex at the Rajprasong intersection. The 800,000-square-metre renovation is being undertaken at a cost of Bt26 billion and is due to be complete next year.
Central Pattana aims to turn the site, previously known as the World Trade Shopping Centre, into “Asia’s Premier Shopping Paradise”. It is increasing the number of storeys from seven to 18. The first seven floors (78,000sqm) will be taken up by Zen, the trendy department store, while the remaining floors will be developed as lifestyle areas with retail and commercial attractions such as an educational centre, spa, beauty and fitness centres.
Central Chidlom has also revamped its 62,000sqm, seven-storey store. The renovation took almost 18 months to complete. Each of the store’s seven floors now has a different concept and attractions.
Yuwadee Bhicharnchitr, president of Central Department Store Co Ltd, said the company had upgraded the store to maintain its No 1 position.
“We want it to be the flagship department store of Thailand,” she said.
Central Chidlom has expanded its retail space on the ground floor from 1,800sqm to 2,500sqm to showcase international brand cosmetics and high-end fashion labels, as well as exclusive skincare and make-up brands.
Meanwhile, Gaysorn Shopping Complex will spend Bt100 million over the next six months to maintain its image as Bangkok’s premium luxury centre.
Major improvements – redesigned signage and balustrades, added seating areas, sculptures in the atrium and more outside lighting – will be implemented in the last quarter of this year and the first quarter 2006 under the theme “Very Exclusive Contemporary” to provide convenience for all customers, especially tourists.
Gaysorn will implement its Customer Relationship Strategy (CRM) to provide ultimate satisfaction for its VIP customers. Gaysorn is looking to provide a duty-free service in partnership with tenants to support customers going abroad. Gaysorn’s highly regarded multilingual concierges set a new standard for mall customer service, and valet parking ensures easy access.
Gaysorn began a Bt300-million renovation at the end of 2000 and the grand opening of the luxury shopping complex was held in September 2002, resulting in a modern luxurious look.
Figures from Gaysorn’s tenants indicate that sales in the first six months of this year were up an average 7.5 per cent year on year.
Chairman Charn Srivikorn said that the shopping mall needed to keep up with the fast moving world of international shopping, fashion trends and expectations of Thai customers and tourists.
Amarin Plaza in November last year opened its newly renovated 13,000-square metre Erawan Bangkok shopping complex, designed under the “boutique mall” concept. The plan was initiated after Amarin Plaza Plc bought the space back from Japan-based Sogo Department Store, which shut down operations a year ago.
With an investment of Bt400 million in major renovations, Erawan Bangkok has 13,000 square meters spread over five storeys.
The boutique mall has four zones: the Urban Kitchen and Sunken Court, which focuses on various ethnic cuisines; Luxury Fashion which houses accessories including jewellery and leather; Erawan’s Studio for clothing; and The Rejuvenation for beauty products, spas, and an entertainment venue for people to meet with friends in the evening. Its main customer focus will be the younger generation and executives who “prefer a luxurious yet warm and cosy atmosphere”.
Meanwhile, Siam Centre recently reopened with its new look as it seeks to become the ultimate fashion centre, under the innovative theme, “The Magical Glass Box”.
The Bt400 million face-lift creates a magical impression through graphic images and special lighting effects.
Siam Centre will become a hub for trendy fashions, targeting new-generation of shoppers aged 12-28, while Siam Discovery Centre, the nearby shopping complex, will be a lifestyle centre for innovative and stylish local and imported products.
The Emporium also launched its Parisian look in November this year following a Bt500 million renovation. The new look features a natural atmosphere with warm colours and a stylish look.
