Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Rob's take
"Not a museum but a dozen attractions stacked above Royal Garden Plaza, and the value is entirely in the combo ticket — buy it online, never at the desk. The Odditorium holds the adults; Scream in the Dark and the two walk-through horrors hold the teenagers. Be firm on that last point, because staff will tell you the horror attractions suit small children and they don't."
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a family attraction in Pattaya, within the greater Pattaya area of Chon Buri, Thailand. It's rated 4.3★ on Google. Open daily, 11:00 AM–10:00 PM.
Ripley's World sits on the upper floors of Royal Garden Plaza on Beach Road, and is a dozen attractions rather than one: the Believe It or Not! Odditorium of oddities, Louis Tussaud's Waxworks, and a run of scares that includes Scream in the Dark — the ghost train ride through clowns, grave robbers and the living dead — plus the Haunted Adventure walk-through with live actors, and the newer Horror Hospital. Alongside them are the Infinity Maze, the Vault laser maze, the Lost Pyramid, the Garden Escape and a 9D moving-theatre simulator. Open 11am to 10pm daily, with combo tickets noticeably cheaper booked online.

Common questions
Is the ghost train still at Ripley's in Pattaya?
Yes. Scream in the Dark is the ghost train — a seated ride through a black abyss of clowns, grave robbers, skeletons and the living dead. It runs alongside two walk-through scares, Ripley's Haunted Adventure with live actors and the newer Horror Hospital, so check which one you are buying: only Scream in the Dark is a ride.
What is included at Ripley's World Pattaya?
