Photo opps galore at this museum of illusion art, where you can insert yourself right into the 3D paintings.

The optical illusions that fill Art in Paradise will result in some of the best (and funniest) photos of your entire trip to Chiang Mai

We’ve got tons of gorgeous photographs from our trip to Chiang Mai: stunning Buddhist temples (pristine white, pressed silver, mysterious blue, bold red, shimmering gold), adorable rescued elephants, ziplining through the rainforest.

But what are the pictures everyone asks us about? The goofy trompe l’oeil photos we took at Art in Paradise. And really, who could argue? They’re mind-blowing. They’re hilarious.

“Who could argue? The pics are mind-blowing and hilarious.”

Billing itself as an illusion art museum, Art in Paradise is a fun way to spend a couple of hours. If you like taking silly pics (as you know we do), you definitely have to make this a stop on your Chiang Mai itinerary. It’s outside the Old Town, but it’s an easy tuk-tuk ride away.

A group of three or more people is ideal. Duke and I wanted some pics of both of us, so we kept bugging a poor Japanese girl who happened to be just in front of us as we worked our way through the museum.

Get ready to be amazed and amused! –Wally
