Baan Teelanka, which means ‘upside down house’ in Thai, is the first of its kind in Phuket Town. Built leaning against its roof, the three-storey building has everything attached to its top, making the house look upside down. Meticulously planned and perfectly executed by a Swiss-Thai couple, This is a must for family fun and entertainment. Baal Teelanka must be entered through the roof straight into the attic. Stairs lead you to the three floors comprising the living room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathrooms, garage and utility room.
