The Frost Magical Ice Of Siam in Pattaya is an indoor and outdoor unusual exhibition of beautifully formed ice sculptures telling interesting stories of the Thai way of life and old literatures from centuries past as well as acknowledging the many amazing places all over this great country.
The -10 degree Celsius indoor ice sculptures, showcase various spectacular forms of ice including a dome building, an ice cave and various animals but the outdoor area is around 40 degrees warmer than the Ice Dome inside, where temperatures can drop to a bone-chilling freezing.
Inside the building, in the “Siam Heaven” or “Ice Dome,” visitors can experience sub-zero conditions and see ice sculptures of polar bears, penguins and even an Inuit igloo, the traditional home of the Arctic eskimo’s as well as some uniquely brilliant Thai objects, such as a tuk-tuk carved out of ice.
The Ice Dome’s atmosphere is without doubt enhanced by the spectacular lights, which alternate between different colours but take your time and watch your step on the icy ground especially if you’re wearing anything with a heel.

You can also hire a warm winter coat from the front desk if you’re still feeling the chill and there is also an ice bar where you can get a free soft drink in an actual ice made glass.
