PADO MEDIA ART SPACE
PADO Media Art Space is an immersive digital art venue in Pattaya that takes visitors through a series of darkened rooms filled with floor-to-ceiling light and sound projections. Themes range from cascading waterfalls and ocean scenes to galaxies and abstract nature imagery, creating a fully enveloping sensory experience that draws comparisons to internationally recognised installations like TeamLab in Singapore. The one-way walk-through format means each room unfolds as a fresh discovery, rewarding visitors who take their time with each space. Expect around 10 to 12 distinct rooms, each with its own visual and atmospheric character. Projections are paired with ambient soundscapes, and some installations engage touch and smell alongside sight and sound. The cool, darkened interior also offers welcome relief from Pattaya's heat, making it a practical mid-afternoon option as well as an artistic one. The space appeals to a wide range of visitors, from families and couples to solo travellers interested in contemporary digital art. Good to know: Admission has been reported at around 1,000 THB, though discounts are sometimes available, so it is worth checking the website at padomediaart.com for current pricing and any ongoing promotions before visiting. The venue is open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, giving flexibility across most itineraries. Because the route through the exhibition moves in one direction only, visitors cannot backtrack, so it pays to move at a leisurely pace and not rush through the early rooms.

Visitor Reviews
A fabulous light and sound exhibition. A wonderful experience that you will amaze all of your senses through your eyes, ears, nose and hands. All of the projections were well designs and perfectly arrange. My favorite are the laser room and the lantern room. Highly recommend, it will worth your money.
Fun artistic indoor exhibition. There were several rooms to visit that were unique. The dark cool spaces make it a great place to escape the afternoon heat. You cannot go backwards so spend plenty of time in each room before moving on. Also the last room requires payment if you want to draw.
You walk through these dark rooms filled with glowing, floor-to-ceiling projections of nature scenes, from waterfalls to galaxies. Including my favorite: the ocean room. Gentle waves, soft music, and that dreamy beach atmosphere that is straight out of ARTE’s famous “Beach: Aurora” exhibit.

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.
