After having considered going to a Madame Tussauds for a longer time we decided to visit our first one at Siam Discovery in Bangkok.
We booked online. There are different options. We had the one with an open ticket, but still getting a discount for booking online. We paid 1280 THB (ca. 30 Euro or 40.20 USD) for two.
In front of Siam Discovery are already hand prints of Jackie Chan and others, indicating you're heading in the right direction.
There is an express elevator.
Exchanging our booking with tickets was easy.
The first room was dedicated to the Thai Royal family.
The next was about local, regional and international politicians.
Some rooms exhibited wax figures of famous scientists, philosophers and writers.
The next section was about sport and entertainment.
We liked it because it was interactive and hands on, so we could play basketball with a real ball and hoop for example or tennis with a WII.
Coffee with George Clooney anyone? Or a quick chat with Oprah Winfrey? It's all possible at Madame Tussauds Bangkok.
We had fun and of course there was the obligatory photo session with my favorites, like Dr. Mahathir, Shahrukh Khan and others.
Some of the exhibits were not there, for example Madonna, because they needed restoration.
The last part was about the history of the company and how wax figures are made. There are going many hours into it and it's quite expensive.
At the very end was the gift shop.
We enjoyed the visit much more than we thought we would and are going to expand our Madame Tussauds experiences around the world in the future.
