Any time day or night, this hillside viewpoint offers panoramic views of Pattaya and Jomtien but it is best visited in late afternoon or early evening when the changing lights enhance this already amazing sight and best of all, it’s absolutely free.
002-ART IN PARADISE- Located near North Pattaya Big C Supercenter. Art in Paradise is a fun in an art gallery and trick to eyes. Through clever use of shading and borders, artists have painted directly on to walls to create stunning images that trick our eyes into thinking animals are smashing through walls, friends are balancing over raging waterfalls and polar bears are stealing a sip of coconut. As just mention that Painting inside Art in Paradise is designed for visitors to fully interact with, there are example photos of how to act with the paintings. It will help visitors have some ideas about that specific art. The gallery has over 100 individual art pieces in ten themed sections, covering optical illusions, wild animals, nature, past civilizations and reproductions of classic art with witty additions such as bright pink nail polish on a pre-Raphaelite beauty, or a pencil added to the Mona Lisa. It takes around two hours to get around the whole gallery. The art gallery is located on Pattaya 2nd Road, although the entrance is 20 metres up Pattaya Soi 2. Pattaya 2nd Road is a one-way street, so it’s very easy to find Art in Paradise, close to the Dolphin Roundabout in North Pattaya.
