No trip to Pattaya is complete without a visit here. About 20 minutes south of town and just off the main SUKUMVIT Road, this museum is an amazing compilation of Thai and Chinese culture and religion. Almost too much to absorb in one visit.

8. Hello Van Gogh
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Amazing and wonderful multimedia exhibition The masterpieces of two great painters - Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet - are presented on large screens in a modern gallery. And you can be shure - you've never seen the same before. A large-scale multimedia show will allow you to feel yourself as if you are inside of the masterpieces of the great masters. More than 40 modern high-definition projectors, big screens up to 6 meters high and stunning music will take you through time to the wonderful world of Vincent Van Gogh. And you can understand who he was - a great master, an insane genius or an unhappy creature doomed to eternal solitary wandering.

A lovely Experience. Extremely well presented. Historically accurate and a wide range of Van Gogh's art work on display. The display covers his life from very early years until his tragic death. Plenty of examples of his work on display and also some additional, very relevant examples from his influential contemporaries. Helpful staff and relaxing atmosphere to enable full absorption of his wonderful work. Most enjoyable!

With space museums, or museums in general, it's possible to critique them based on limited expectations, or else love what is there, so that placing them on a scale can get lost. This museum seemed fine; my kids really liked it, and there was a good bit to see and do. It wasn't on the same scale as the Air and Space museum in DC, or a counterpart outside Moscow, but it was well-done, what was there, with activities and exhibits to take in. The look and feel is fine, and the displays; it's all modern, with no issues related to the information being in both English and Thai. There weren't a lot of hands-on displays or activities but enough to mix things up. My kids liked a VR experience, and one that simulated walking on Mars, and a Lego robot building activity. That last one came with an extra charge, but value is not really an issue as such places here, since costs are low. I did a gyroscope sort of ride event myself, the kind an astronaut might experience to adjust to losing internal equilibrium framework, which I definitely don't recommend. I felt sick for about two hours afterward, and it took a few days to completely get my balance back. Maybe that's good for you somehow? On the negative side it could seem limited, or basic. Kids have trouble reading lots of text, which is most of the display content (and adults too now, for that matter). But to me what was there seemed reasonably balanced and fine.
