Phuket Upside Down House

My childhood friend (more like a brother from another mother), Stephen, decided to take a weekend off and travel to Phuket for a 2 day vacation. He claims to have been working most of the time and wants to see another country. I helped him with his itinerary as I also was on a rest day when he arrived.

After fetching him from the airport, we caught the Airport Bus to Phuket Town. Apparently, the driver took us directly to the Phuket Town Bus Terminal bypassing our main destination. Therefore, we had to take a tuktuk. This gave him the opportunity to cruise through the old Phuket Town for just a few minutes. We were heading to Phuket's Upside Down House.

Upside Down House in Thai language is "Baan Telanka". It is said to be the first and only upside down house in Thailand. We arrived at the site at around 11:30a.m. and my room mate, Kamille, who was waiting for us already purchased our tickets. The price was 250THB (around 8 USD) each person. The house was completely upside down and fully furnished.

First we were ushered by the staff to the front of the house. The staff taught us how to pose and took our group photo. At first we were having difficulty following the instructions on how to take photos but there were staff inside the house that guided us and made it more enjoyable.

The way to the first floor (or the third floor?) of the house was through a staircase which featured an attic. A few minutes after we started to take some photos, a number of people were already coming up to the house so it was difficult to post solo photos.

We took photos from the bedroom. The furnitures were hanging on the ceiling. But in this photo, it seems we are the ones hanging :)

From the living room.

From the kitchen.

And from the Bathroom (Seriously, Stephen?)

I felt I had to steal the rice cooker, I was already hungry!

I'm not the worst one. Caught you there, Stephen!

Kamille decided she'd like to borrow a laptop and see if there's wifi :)

That's right guys, don't forget your house chores. First wash your clothes.

Then you'll have to press 'em.

Afterwards, refresh yourselves with swimming.

Or, just chill, wine and dine.

If they decided to leave me on a tuktuk (not on a jet plane).

I'll be catching up with this bike.

It was really a unique way to take photos. I am not able to appreciate how I look or how to pose until after a photo was taken. It is amazing that every minute detail was placed accordingly. We had loads of fun taking photos and reviewing them.

P.S. There was also a maze at the back of the house but due to time constraint, we did not try it out. It also had a separate fee.
