The Upside Down House: Phuket’s Must-See Attraction
One upside-down room can change your whole mood. At Baan Teelanka, you walk into a world where ceilings and floors swap jobs, and your camera does the work. The result is a playful break from beach days, with quirky, family-friendly fun built right into the layout.
I love how easy it is to get great shots without planning a whole photo session. I also like that the attraction works for different ages, as long as kids are old enough to enjoy it. One consideration, though, is that the included ticket covers the upside-down house only, while the Maze Garden and the room escape game require extra tickets.

Entering Baan Teelanka and Getting Oriented in Phuket

Baan Teelanka, also called The UpsideDown House of Phuket, is in Ratsada, in the Mueang Phuket District area. The address is 51/11 Moo 5, Chaloem Phra Kiat Ratchakan Thi 9 Road, Ratsada, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000. You will present your voucher in person at the attraction to enter.
There is no hotel pickup included, so you should plan to get there under your own steam. If you are staying somewhere else on the island, build in time for local travel, traffic, and finding the entrance. The upside-down house is the whole point, so arriving when you still feel fresh helps.
Also, this activity is for non-Thai citizens. If you are Thai, you will want to check eligibility before you plan your day.
What the UpsideDown House experience is really like

The attraction is built around a simple idea: everything feels wrong in a good way. Doors, furniture, and rooms are arranged so that you are constantly re-checking your instincts. That is why it works so well. Your brain expects the usual, and the place hands you visual surprises instead.
You move through the inverted spaces at your own pace. That matters because the best photos usually come from trying a few angles, not from rushing. The experience is playful, not stressful, and you can keep it light even if you are traveling with kids.
Your admission ticket covers the upside-down house entry. Depending on what you want from the day, you can keep it to just that, or you can build in extra activities nearby.
Walking through the upside-down rooms for great photos fast

If you care about photos, you will like this place. The rooms are designed so that even casual snapshots look like a gag movie frame. I like walking in and immediately trying the classic perspectives, because the architecture does most of the work for you.
Bring a camera. The attraction specifically asks for a camera, and that is good advice. Phone cameras work fine, but come prepared to wipe a lens if you are getting fingerprints, and to adjust brightness in indoor lighting.
Here is how to make photos faster once you are inside:
- Start with the obvious full-frame shots, then go for close-ups of hands, furniture, and textures.
- Try one pose while standing, then repeat the same pose at a different height.
- If there is a spot that looks good, linger for a minute. The room is the set, you are just finding the best angle.
Because the whole theme depends on visual trickery, you should also expect people to take their time. Going calmly helps you get the shots without feeling rushed.
Rules that affect your comfort: food, drinks, and what to plan
You cannot bring food and drinks into the attraction. That is simple, but it changes your timing. If you are visiting with kids, I would plan a snack before you go in, then focus on the walkthrough.
Instead of relying on buying something inside, treat the upside-down house as a sit-and-play visit you fit between meals. If you feel tempted to bring drinks anyway, do yourself a favor and skip it. Your time inside will go smoother when you do not have to manage restrictions.
The upside-down theme is also a little physically playful. You will be walking, changing positions, and looking up or down a lot. Wear shoes you feel comfortable moving in, especially if you are visiting in warmer weather.
Maze Garden and the room escape game: how to add extra time

The Maze Garden is not included in the standard admission ticket. The same is true for the Room Escape Game ticket. If you want more variety beyond the upside-down house, you can add these experiences, but you will pay separately.
The Maze Garden is a logical add-on because it shifts the vibe from indoors to outdoors. It gives you a chance to burn off energy, and it is a good match for families who want something interactive after the photo-driven walkthrough.
If you also add the room escape game, plan for a shorter session. One piece of practical feedback from past visitors is that it can feel like it runs in about half an hour, so if you are used to longer puzzle sessions, you might want to mentally prepare for a quicker, tighter format.
If you are deciding how to spend your time, here is a simple way to choose:
- Want mostly photos and light fun? Stick with the upside-down house only.
- Want more activity and movement? Add the Maze Garden.
- Want a challenge on top of the chaos? Add the room escape game.
Price and value: what $27 gets you, and when it feels worth it
The price listed is $27 per person, and it includes the upside-down house admission ticket for non-Thai citizens. That is the key detail for value. You are paying for entry to the main attraction, not a full day of unlimited add-ons.
Is it worth it? In my view, it becomes a good value if you:
- Like playful, low-effort attractions that are instantly fun
- Care about taking quirky photos with minimal planning
- Want something your whole group can enjoy in one stop
Some people may feel the ticket is not enough if they expect the Maze Garden and escape game to be included. If you fall into that camp, you should budget for extra tickets early, so there are no surprises.
Think of it like this: the upside-down house is the star. Everything else is optional, and your money goes further if you treat the main attraction as the core plan.
Best for families, couples, and groups who like silly fun
This attraction is not suitable for children under 7. That is an easy cutoff to respect. If you are traveling with younger kids, the house may be less enjoyable or harder for them to navigate, so you might want to choose something else for that age group.
For families with kids 7 and up, it is a friendly pick. The activities are not complicated, and kids can stay engaged while adults still enjoy the experience. It is also the kind of attraction where teens and grandparents can take part without needing the same level of energy.
For couples and friend groups, it works because it is basically a set of pre-made photo scenarios. You will likely leave with at least a few frames that look like a joke, and that is the point.
Practical planning tips that make your visit smoother

Duration is listed as 1 day. That does not mean you need to spend a full day inside. It means you can fit this into a broader Phuket plan and still keep the rest of your schedule flexible.
You will want to bring:
- A camera
You should plan around:
- No food and drinks inside the attraction
- Being able to move and pose for photos
- Getting to the address in Ratsada on your own, since there is no hotel pickup
If you are trying to time your visit well, remember that the ticket is valid for 1 day and starting times depend on availability. Choosing a slot when you feel ready to wander and take photos makes the experience better.
Also, this is run by MY Holiday Centre Co., Ltd. If you have questions about ticket types or eligibility, that is the provider name to keep in mind.
Should you book the UpsideDown House ticket in Phuket?

I think you should book it if you want a light, funny attraction that gives immediate results, especially on the photo front. The upside-down rooms are the main payoff, and the $27 ticket makes sense when you treat it as a focused stop, not a full-day festival of extras.
Skip or rethink it if you are traveling with very young kids, or if you expect the Maze Garden and room escape game to be included in the base price. Also be honest with yourself about timing. If you want a long, multi-hour activity, this might feel short unless you add the optional experiences.
If you are a “one good stop a day” traveler, this is a solid match for Phuket.
