Directions

Why go, and how to do it well

Located in the Wichit area of Phuket, this interactive museum offers a hands-on alternative to the island's more traditional sightseeing options. The experience centers on 3D trick art installations and optical illusions designed to be photographed from specific angles, turning visitors into part of the artwork itself. A notable feature is the augmented reality app, which overlays digital effects onto the installations — though some visitors have reported the app can be unreliable, so managing expectations around that element is worthwhile.

The atmosphere is casual and playful, making it a popular choice for families with children and groups looking for a lighthearted outing. The space is reported to be generously sized, with enough installations to occupy visitors for roughly two to three hours. Experiences vary — some find it genuinely impressive and entertaining, while others consider it overpriced for what is on offer, and a handful of reviewers have noted issues with staff attentiveness.

Reviews from Google

The AR Trick Eye Museum utilizes augmented reality to create captivating visual illusions, which explains its name. The experience it offers is truly exceptional and unparalleled, as this form of entertainment is novel and not commonly found elsewhere. Prior to entering the museum, visitors are required to download their app, which plays a pivotal role in creating the illusions when taking pictures or recording videos with your phone. In those picture/videos, you will find yourself surrounded by a variety of animals and subjects, giving the impression that you are truly immersed in their environment. The museum itself boasts ample space and features numerous stages, each offering distinct scenarios for visitors to enjoy. Among the highlights, the volcano, Dragon fire, and Ocean stood out to us the most. Considering the overall experience, the pricing is reasonable, making it a highly recommended attraction.

It's a great space. The space is spacious and there are many fun trickeye art pieces. I visited with my kids, and even the adults had a great time. Be sure to install the AR app and check it out. It'll be more realistic!

Honestly it’s very overrated. Rude staff too. App was terrible and didn’t work half the time. The app also takes very blurry terrible photos, and I’m operating on the newest IPhone which takes amazing photos. I wouldn’t bother wasting your money. Additionally it’s very short, went through with 4 kids with photos on all of them in 20-30 min.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture

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.

Go Early Morning

Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
