Enjoy a Fun Family Outing at Madame Tussauds Bangkok
Madame Tussauds, the internationally renowned wax museum that originated in London, also has a branch in Bangkok. It offers an entertaining escape that’s great fun for families with a bit of extra time to spare in Bangkok. If you’re staying at Centre Point Sukhumvit 10, we highly recommend that you schedule a family visit.
If you’ve never been to a Madame Tussauds before, be prepared to let go of your preconceptions. More than 200 years after the original museum opened in London, it’s safe to say that Madame Tussauds has learned a thing or two about how to entertain visitors. This is not your typical wax museum. Instead, each of the lifelike wax figures on display here are cast in the midst of detailed set pieces, and guests are encouraged to take a hands-on approach.
As your family strolls through the exhibits, you’ll have the chance to get up close and personal with the statues on display. You can drape an arm over Brad Pitt’s shoulder, strike a pose with Chairman Mao or take a piano lesson with Beethoven. Madame Tussauds is all about having fun, and that’s exactly what you and the family can plan on doing during your visit.
Madame Tussauds Bangkok Highlights
Madame Tussauds is divided into separate showrooms, each with its own overarching theme. With that in mind, the wax statues that you find in any given room will have either an occupation or historical role in common. Here is a sampling of the various displays and exhibits that you’ll find at Madame Tussauds Bangkok, along with examples of the lifelike wax figures you can expect to meet inside:
