The house is designed with a slight tilt to challenge the vestibular system and enhance the disorienting, upside-down visual effect.
The floor (which is the ceiling) is intentionally kept at a 0-degree level, while the rest of the structure is built inverted, creating an architectural paradox.
The exterior of the house features a vibrant, multi-colored facade that makes it highly visible from the main highway.
The garden maze, A-Maze-in-Phuket, contains pathways that are frequently rearranged to alter the challenge level for repeat visitors.
The structure was built by a Swiss entrepreneur who wanted to bring European-style illusion attractions to the Thai market.
The Upside Down House, locally known as Baan Teelanka, is a three-story house built completely inverted on its roof. The interior features fully furnished rooms, including a bedroom, living room, and kitchen, all mounted to the ceiling to create gravity-defying photographic illusions. Visitors walk on the 'ceiling' while furniture appears to hang above them. The attraction includes an outdoor garden maze, known as A-Maze-in-Phuket, which is a labyrinth covering roughly 1,000 square meters. The property also houses an 'I-Chamber' which is a themed escape room experience. It is located directly off the main bypass road in Phuket town. The site is designed as a quick-stop attraction focused on interactive social media photography.
The living room area, where the furniture setup allows for the most convincing 'climbing on the ceiling' poses.
Bring a smartphone with a wide-angle lens to capture the full scope of the inverted rooms.
Wear shoes that are easy to slip off, as some areas may require you to walk on specific floor surfaces.
Visit the outdoor garden maze first if the house is crowded to avoid long queues inside the smaller rooms.
Avoid visiting during peak afternoon heat if you plan to spend significant time in the outdoor garden maze.
