Insider Tips
Best Time: Weekday mornings are quiet, meaning you get the whole upside-down house mostly to yourself (and no strangers in your photos). It can get busy (and warm) on weekend afternoons
Hack: No shoes inside, so wear socks if you prefer. Avoid wearing skirts or loose sandals – you’ll be posing at odd angles!
Hidden Gem: The staff know all the best poses – don’t be shy to ask them for photo ideas or assistance. They’ll help position you to make it look like you’re climbing walls or doing handstands
Optional tip: Plan for around 1.5 hours for the house and maze. If it’s rainy, skip the maze (or bring an umbrella) and focus on the indoor fun. It’s one of Phuket’s top rainy-day activities

Photography Tips
Restriction or rule: Photography is the whole point here! Just be careful with your camera/phone – hold it securely since you’ll be angling in weird ways. No restrictions on flash, but natural light usually works best
Best time/light: Mid-morning to midday provides good interior light through the windows. Too late in the day, it might be a bit dimmer inside. Turn off your camera’s flash to avoid glare on shiny surfaces
Angle or vantage point: For convincing shots, take the photo while crouching low and tilt the camera so the floor (ceiling) fills the background. Then flip the photo upside down afterwards – it will look like you defy gravity
Storage/service availability: Carry a small tripod or use shelves/furniture (carefully) to prop your phone for group shots. Staff can also take group photos. After you exit, check out the souvenir shop – they sometimes print your best shot onto a fun keepsake
