About this audio guide
This guide to Art in Paradise Pattaya opens with a woman screaming and grabbing at a railing that turns out to be paint, and traces the building back to 2012, when Korean artist Shin Jae Yeol and eleven fellow painters turned an ordinary old building into a trap for the eye, opening it that May on an investment of more than fifty million baht. It explains why the illusion only works from one exact spot on the floor across roughly 5,800 square meters of rooms. Twelve Korean artists painted these rooms using the forced-perspective tricks old masters once reserved for church ceilings.
