Lighting Art Museum & Balloon Garden A great place to bring children to learn about Thai culture. The rooms are beautifully decorated, featuring activities like Loy Krathong, Yi Peng lantern festival, an elephant room, Naga (serpent) room, light room, and a flower garden that kids really love. The air conditioning is nice and cool. The outdoor area is also decorated with vintage cars and balloons.

Staff so kind and ask for help us take a picture😍

This was a nice experience! It was a feast for the eyes! Plenty of photo-ops and sights to see. Place is a maze. Enormous. With several different themed rooms that play with light and art. We were welcomed by a traditional dance by Thai dancers. Explored and walked around right after. The Lighting Art Museum are all air-conditioned spaces. The Balloon Garden is an open area. There is a vast lily garden beside it. You can spot some food stalls located in the middle of the balloon garden. Comfort rooms near the exit and parking area.

It's a beautiful light show, all LED. There's an air-conditioned room so it's not hot, but behind the air-conditioned room is an outdoor zone for taking photos. Bring umbrellas and hats. Inside there's a coffee shop and food for sale, with a nice atmosphere.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

Dress Modestly

Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.

Mind Your Feet

Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.

Ask Before Photographing

Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
