Museums in Pattaya

Art in Paradise is a 3D trick-eye museum housed in a large warehouse-style building. Visitors interact with over 150 large-scale optical-illusion paintings across themed zones — Underwater World, Safari, Ancient Egypt, and European Masterpieces — designed so that photos taken at marked spots create convincing 3D effects.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Pattaya occupies three floors inside the Royal Garden Plaza on Beach Road. The museum showcases over 300 exhibits — from shrunken heads and a section of the Berlin Wall to interactive optical illusions and a 4D cinema experience.

Anek Kuson Sala (also known as Viharnra Sien) is a museum of Chinese art set within the Wat Yanasangwararam temple complex. The striking red-and-gold building houses a collection donated by the Chinese government, including Shaolin warrior statues, antique ceramics, and a genuine terracotta warrior.
