FREE ENTRY

Plan Your Visit

Taxi or bus: Located in Phuket Old Town (Talat Yai). Take a taxi or local blue songthaew bus to Phuket Town market; from there it’s a 5-minute walk to the museum.
Entrance: Look for the red-and-white building on Phang Nga Road next to the Pearl Hotel. The ticket counter is just inside the main door.
On arrival: You’ll need to remove your shoes at the entrance (wear socks for comfort). The museum is compact, so large bags aren’t necessary.

Food & Coffee Shops

Torry’s Ice Cream: Famed Old Town parlor for local-flavor ice cream in a vintage shophouse

Bookhemian Café: Artsy café nearby with coffee, cake, and a bookshop vibe – perfect after the museum

Insider Tips

Best Time: Weekday mornings see fewer visitors, meaning you won’t have to wait long for each photo spot.

Hack: Download the Trickeye AR app before you go and bring a pair of socks (shoes are off inside, and socks make it more comfortable).

Hidden Gem: Stand exactly on the floor markers for each exhibit – they mark the perfect angle to make the illusion work best.

Rainy Day: This is an ideal indoor escape on a rainy afternoon or sweltering day – enjoy the AC and fun away from the weather.

Photography Tips

No tripods (space is limited). Avoid flash, as the glossy paintings will reflect light.

Use the provided perspective points – they’re there to help you frame the perfect shot with the 3D art.

Weekday mornings or late afternoons have fewer people, so you can capture scenes without other visitors in the background.

Wear bright solid colors so you pop in the photos (green can interfere if using any green-screen AR effects).
