Phuket’s latest tourist attraction will turn your world upside down

Thanks to the coup, hotels in Thailand and airlines are slashing prices on stays and flights. And if you’re taking advantage of the situation and making a trip to Phuket, there’s a spanking new (and somewhat bizarre) attraction on the island to check out. 

Located at Bypass Road (between Premium Outlet and Siam Niramit), Baan Teelanka (which means upside-down house in Thai) is a three-storey house is furnished entirely (umm, yes) upside down, with everything hanging from the ceiling—couches, beds and even bathtubs. There’s also a 1,000 square meter garden labyrinth at the back of the house, called A-Maze-in-Phuket, created by UK maze designer Adrian Fisher. Entry fees are THB200 (S$7.70) to enter Baan Teelanka, and THB150 (S$5.77) to get yourself lost in A-Maze-in-Phuket.

Inspired by this news, we went on to dig further for other unusual, offbeat (read: less touristy) attractions around Asia for you to add to your travel itinerary: there’s this house in China that’s styled like a piano; this building in Hyderabad that’s designed to look like a giant fish; and this cafe in South Korea designed to look like an enormous vintage camera. Weird, but cool.
