The Upside Down House: Phuket’s Must-See Attraction
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by MY Holiday Centre Co.,Ltd. · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Phuket has a few big-ticket wow sights, but this one is odd in the best way. At Baan Teelanka, you walk through upside-down rooms and see familiar space turned weirdly new, which makes it both fun and highly photo-friendly. I also like that it’s built for a range of ages (with one clear exception), so it works as a low-stress activity day.
Two things I like most: the house itself delivers instant visual surprise from every angle, and the vibe feels playful rather than touristy. The one drawback to consider is value: the main ticket covers the UpsideDown House only, while the maze garden and room escape game cost extra.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

- Baan Teelanka, Ratsada: Your visit is centered at 51/11 Moo 5, Chaloem Phra Kiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Road, Ratsada, Mueang Phuket District.
- Upside-down rooms and furnishings: The whole point is walking the inverted space and spotting the perspective tricks.
- Photo time is the real activity: Plan to slow down for angles, not just a quick pass-through.
- Maze garden is optional: You can add it, but it’s not included in the standard admission.
- Escape room is also optional: Included ticket doesn’t cover it, and at least one reviewer felt the escape experience felt a bit short.
- Non-Thai citizens only: This matters for eligibility, so check before you book.
Baan Teelanka: What the UpsideDown House Is Really Like

Baan Teelanka, the UpsideDown House in Phuket, is exactly what it sounds like: a world where the rooms are turned upside down. You enter a space designed to mess with your brain. Floors look like walls. Everything is angled so your normal expectations stop working for a moment, and that’s the fun.
What makes this sort of attraction work in Phuket is that it doesn’t require a long attention span. You can enjoy it at a walking pace. You don’t need to understand a story line or buy into a complex theme. You just explore. The inverted rooms and furnishings do the heavy lifting for you, giving you that instant “how is this even possible” feeling without any lecture.
The setting also helps. This is a light, quirky activity that feels like a break from the usual beach-and-temple rhythm. If you want something unusual that still stays friendly, this fits the bill.

Price and Ticket Value for About $27 (What’s Included)

For about $27 per person, your ticket covers The UpsideDown House admission for non-Thai citizens. That’s the core experience: getting access to the inverted rooms and exploring at your own pace inside the house.
The practical catch: the other activities at the site are separate. The Maze Garden ticket and the Room Escape Game ticket are not included in the UpsideDown House admission. So when you’re judging value, you’ll want to think in two layers:
- If you mainly want the upside-down house and photos, the included ticket is the right target.
- If you also want the maze and/or the escape game, your day out becomes more like a bundle of add-ons, not a single fixed price.
It’s also worth knowing the feedback angle. The overall rating is strong (4.7 across 13 reviews), with plenty of positive notes about the experience. At the same time, one review included a blunt sentiment about price not matching value, and another person said it was really good but could be better. Translation: the attraction is fun, but it’s not trying to be an all-day theme park package.
If you go in with the mindset of a playful photo-focused visit—and you treat the maze/escape as optional extras—you’ll likely feel good about what you paid.
Arriving at the Meeting Point and Using Your Voucher

You’ll present your voucher and arrive in person at Baan Teelanka – The UpsideDown House of Phuket. The exact address is:
51/11 Moo 5, Chaloem Phra Kiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Road, Ratsada, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000, Thailand.
There’s no hotel pickup or drop-off included, so plan to get yourself there. For many people, that turns this into an easy add-on to a day already on the Phuket side rather than a “special trip across the island.”
You also want to pay attention to the timing flexibility. The ticket is valid for 1 day, and starting times depend on availability. When you’re planning your day, give yourself enough time to arrive, get in, and still move slowly inside for photos.
How to Walk the Upside-Down House for the Best Experience

Inside the UpsideDown House, the experience is mostly self-guided. You move room to room, taking in the inverted layouts and the way furnishings appear in the wrong place.
Here’s the part that’s usually worth your effort: don’t treat it like a hallway attraction where you rush through. The design is built for the perspective effect, and that means your best results come from slowing down and changing your angle.
Practical ways to do that:
- Take a few wide shots first so you capture the whole upside-down setting, not just close-ups.
- Then go for medium shots where the perspective lines become obvious.
- Finally, do a last pass at your favorite spots so you can try different poses and camera heights.
Bring a camera. That’s specifically recommended, and it makes sense because the attraction’s main payoff is visual. Also, keep it in mind that food and drinks aren’t allowed, so plan to handle snacks and water before you go or after you leave.
This is a great activity when you want something that feels interactive without requiring instructions. You’re not solving puzzles inside the house itself—you’re walking through the upside-down concept and letting it create the surprise.
Optional Maze Garden and Room Escape Game: How to Decide

Outside the UpsideDown House, there’s a Maze Garden area. The key detail is that the maze ticket is separate from the UpsideDown House admission, so decide whether you want to pay extra for added physical challenge.
The maze adds a different flavor. The house is about perspective and photos. A maze is about navigation and getting a bit more active. If you’re traveling with kids who like a bit of movement, this is often the more natural “second step” after the upside-down rooms.
Then there’s the room escape game, which is also not included with the base ticket. One review specifically suggested the escape room could be improved with more rooms for a longer experience than what felt like about half an hour. So if you’re expecting a long escape-story, set your expectations carefully.
My advice: choose based on your group.
- If you want maximum time inside the weird rooms and photos, skip the add-ons or pick just one.
- If your group loves challenge and wants variety, add the maze first, then consider the escape game if you’re okay with it being a smaller-time activity.
Family-Friendly, But Not for the Very Young

This attraction is described as suitable for the whole family, regardless of age, but there’s a clear limit: it’s not suitable for children under 7 years.
That age cutoff matters because it shifts the experience from “any little kid can handle it” to “it’s family-friendly once kids can follow a basic exploration flow.” In practice, this is often ideal for families with school-aged kids and teens who like taking photos and running through playful attractions.
If you’re going with younger kids, you may want to reconsider. The upside-down concept is fun, but smaller kids may not enjoy the pacing, crowds, or the walking involved as much as older kids.
For couples, this can also be a surprisingly good outing. It gives you something light to do that doesn’t revolve around a strict schedule, and you can make it a mini photo hunt.
Practical Stuff Before You Go to Phuket’s UpsideDown House
A few basics make your visit smoother:
- Bring your camera. It’s specifically advised, and you’ll use it.
- Don’t plan on food or drinks inside. Food and drinks aren’t allowed.
- Plan your own transport. Hotel pickup and drop-off aren’t included.
- Eligibility check: This activity is for non-Thai citizens. Make sure you meet the requirement before you buy.
On the day itself, arrive with enough time to check in at the site, present your voucher, and still explore at an unhurried pace. The attraction is a “walk + look + photograph” experience, so rushing usually means you miss your best angles.
Also, keep in mind who the provider is. The experience provider is MY Holiday Centre Co.,Ltd. That can help if you need to reference the activity in your planning or support questions.
Should You Book the UpsideDown House in Phuket?
Book it if you want a quirky, low-effort Phuket stop that delivers immediate wow with almost no learning curve. The upside-down house is the main event, and it’s an easy win for groups who want photos, laughs, and a playful break from the usual itinerary.
Don’t overbook your expectations if you’re hunting for a long all-in-one day. The standard admission covers the UpsideDown House only, and the maze garden and room escape game are extra. If your group is especially price-sensitive or expects multiple long activities, you’ll want to budget for add-ons—or skip them and focus on what’s included.
