Art in Paradise Pattaya

I took this photo yesterday and am in Pattaya, Thailand not in Ayutthaya. The head of Buddha in Wat Mahatat is one of the most visited and well-known locations in the Ayutthaya Histrical Park. A part of the Ayutthaya Histrical Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and I've been there twice, but I took this photo in Art in Paradise Pattaya. Art in Paradise Pattaya is an interactive 3D art museum with full of awesome images of a lot of famous locations on the globe, plus a lot of unique images of famous art like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. The entrance ticket costs 300 THB per adult, and I thought it was really worth the money.
