Art In Paradise is a popular family-friendly attraction in Pattaya that’s centrally located and easy and cheap to reach.
Art In Paradise is a 3D art gallery where the idea is to get yourself in the picture literally. It’s a walk-through art gallery featuring numerous 3D wall paintings and scenes where you can position yourself to capture the lifelike effect, as in the photos below.
To further enhance the experience and 3D effects at Art In Paradise, you can now also use an AR (augmented reality) app, which the staff will help you download.
Opening times: Pattaya Art In Paradise is open every day from 0900 to 2100.
TIP: Visit on a weekday. Art In Paradise can get busy at weekends, and you might find yourself waiting a long time for those in front of you before taking your turn at each picture and scene. Pattaya Art In Paradise is open every day from 0900 to 2100.
TIP: You can buy cheap tickets to attractions in Pattaya, including Art In Paradise, for almost half-price online.

By the time I arrived at this dinosaur painting (above), I had learned that the glossy finish of the paintings reflected the light from the camera’s flash, so I recommend you try and avoid using flash if possible.

You have to remove your shoes to avoid scuffing the paintwork; they supply you with a plastic bag for them.

It’s all about perspective; the illusion does not work unless you correctly position yourself and your camera. Take your time photographing the floor paintings, and ensure you are looking from the right perspective (viewpoint).

Take a wide-angle lens with you to capture the larger paintings; as you can see in the photo (above), some of the paintings cover a whole wall.

You don’t have to frame the whole painting; try getting a few close-up shots. I did some serious cropping on this photo (above) to remove the glare of the flash, which is still evident in the top left.

Art In Paradise is located just off Pattaya 2nd Road, around 200 meters north of Central Marina shopping mall and 80 meters before Tiffany’s Ladyboy Show. It’s easy and cheap to reach by baht bus, using ride booking apps, or motorcycle taxi. You can find it using this Google map of Art In Paradise
