Art in Paradise Pattaya (อาร์ต อิน พาราไดซ์ พัทยา)
“This is one of the world's largest interactive 3D museums, offering a unique AR-powered experience that turns every visitor into an artist.”
Description
This 3D art museum in Pattaya is a popular spot to escape the midday heat and snap hundreds of fun photos. The space is filled with immersive paintings on the walls and floors that ‘come to life’ on your phone screen via an AR app. Families with kids and tour groups flock here, so be prepared for lines during peak times.
The gallery is located on Second Road, just steps away from Terminal 21 shopping mall. The atmosphere is more like a bustling attraction than a quiet gallery. Important to know: there’s an area with live lion cubs in glass enclosures, which attracts criticism and may be an unwelcome surprise for some.
Why visit
Insider tips
💡 The main attraction is the AR app. Download it in advance and fully charge your phone, as the app drains battery quickly and museum Wi-Fi is unstable.
💡 You'll be asked to remove your shoes upon entry. Floors can be slippery in socks, so move carefully.
💡 The controversial lion cub attraction. If animal exploitation concerns you, this part of the exhibit might ruin your experience.
💡 Beware of taxi drivers offering 'discounted tickets for points.' If issues arise, refunds through such intermediaries are impossible.
