December 2014 - This round of Family trip to Phuket was a free and easy
trip. No must-do thing for us, no must-go place to visit… no fixed plans! After
reading through some traveller’s blogs, I got to know about this Baan
Teelanka. Well, looks unique to me, as it is an Upside Down House! Baan
Teelanka opened in April 2014 and it is one of the most innovative and original
attractions on Phuket Island for now. It is located on the Bypass Road on
the northern outskirts of Phuket Town.
Baan
Teelanka is a three-storey house built leaning on its roof and the layout of it
looks like a standard house to me from outside. It has bedrooms, bathroom,
living room, kitchen, etc. and the only difference is that you look as though
you are walking on the ceiling! Hehe :) Initially, I was a bit not getting used
to it, but the ‘weirdness’ feeling went off soon as everything looked so
special to me!
Some of the photos I had turned it so that it looked normal on the screen. In fact, they were all took in an upside down manner!
They have a
team of dedicated staff station there, helping you to take photos (outside the
building), teaching you how to take the photos in a correct way (inside the
building) so that you get to capture the ‘uniqueness’ of the upside down
display.
This is not
a huge house so the time spends here might not be long. You can explore the A-Maze-in-Phuket, which is behind this
Baan Teelanka. However, when we reached there it was already late evening,
hence we did not have time to explore The Garden Maze with my Boys. We only
managed to visit the Upside Down House during this trip.
A new
experience for the Boys with all the things displays in an upside down way and
they look ‘amazed’!

Thank you ShinY for taking the time to share your experience with us Baan Teelanka. We are happy to know we provided a half hour of fund for all of you, away from beaches and shoppings which I am sure you also enjoyed.
I am planning to go Baan Teelanka free and easy as well. What is the mode of transport that you took? Is it difficult to get cab from this area?
I am planning to go to Baan Teelanka free and easy too! What did you take to go there? Is it difficult to get a cab from there?
Hi Skinformulae, I engaged a taxi to send us there and wait for us while we visited the place. The main road seems like a quiet road when I passed by, so not too sure if taxi is easily available there or not. I think it is better to get a taxi driver to send you there. He can also send you to have some food and nearby attractions.
Thank you.
