Turning the World Upside Down: A Family Adventure in Phuket

Curiosity led me to Baan Teelanka, Phuket’s upside-down house, where my family and I embarked on a whimsical adventure. From walking on ceilings to solving escape room puzzles, our day was filled with laughter and learning.

A Whimsical World Turned Upside Down

As a curator of interactive exhibits, I am always on the lookout for unique experiences that can captivate both children and adults alike. When I heard about Baan Teelanka, the upside-down house in Phuket, I knew it was a must-visit for my family. The idea of walking on the ceiling through a fully furnished house intrigued me, and I was eager to see how my children would react to such a topsy-turvy adventure.

Upon arrival, the sight of the house itself was enough to elicit gasps of amazement from my kids. The three-story structure, with its roof firmly planted on the ground, was a marvel of architectural whimsy. As we stepped inside, the world as we knew it was quite literally turned on its head. The kitchen, bedrooms, and living room were all perfectly furnished, yet everything was upside down. My children giggled with delight as they pretended to walk on the ceiling, and I couldn’t resist capturing the moment with countless photos.

The experience was not only visually stimulating but also sparked conversations about gravity, architecture, and creativity. It was a perfect blend of fun and education, something I always strive to achieve in my own work.

Puzzle Solving in the Chamber of Secrets

After exploring the upside-down house, we ventured into the Chamber of Secrets, where two escape rooms awaited us. We chose Jenny’s Love Coordination, a room filled with puzzles and clues that required teamwork and quick thinking. As a family, we love challenges that require us to work together, and this was no exception.

The puzzles were cleverly designed, and each clue led us closer to unlocking the door. My wife and I watched with pride as our children took the lead, solving riddles and piecing together the mystery. It was a thrilling experience that not only tested our problem-solving skills but also strengthened our family bond.

The escape room was a highlight of our visit, and it left us eager to try more such adventures in the future. It was a reminder of the joy that comes from working together as a team, something that resonates deeply with our family values.

Navigating the A-Maze-in-Phuket Garden

Our adventure continued in the A-Maze-in-Phuket garden, a labyrinth that promised twists and turns at every corner. The maze was a delightful challenge, offering various routes to explore and discover. My children took the lead, guiding us through the winding paths with a sense of determination and excitement.

As we navigated the maze, we stumbled upon hidden nooks and crannies, each offering a new perspective on the garden’s beauty. It was a peaceful yet exhilarating experience, allowing us to connect with nature while engaging in a playful pursuit.

After successfully finding our way out, we took a moment to relax at the modern coffee shop, reflecting on the day’s adventures. The visit to Baan Teelanka was a perfect blend of whimsy, challenge, and relaxation, making it an unforgettable experience for our family. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and love, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and engaging family outing.
