Special things about the Bangkok Madame Tussauds

The Bangkok Madame Tussauds is not just unique for the sake of being unique. It is located inside a very uniquely designed mall. The sculptures are unique and there is that fun zone you pay a little extra for. The amount of fun you will have will totally compensate for the extra 900 THB. So, here is a brief idea about what you are looking forward to with your Bangkok holiday packages with the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on the list.

1] Realistic Details

The Bangkok Madame Tussauds is one of South Asia’s firsts. It houses the wax statues of Asian celebrities like Jackie Chan and core Hollywood celebrities like Angelina Jolie. The statues at the Bangkok Madame Tussauds are way more lifelike compared to those in any other city. The facial expressions are more realistic than the usual “posing for a picture” kind. The body language and postures are portrayed to be in action instead of posing for a picture.

Our Pro Tip: Check out the statues of Tony Jaa and Silpa Bhirasri online to understand what I am talking about. It is a fun idea to not know what they look like and actually end up mistaking them for real live people. The Bangkok Madame Tussauds is that good as far as the details are concerned.

2] Inclusive Representation

Just like all other Madame Tussauds Wax Museums, this one too focuses on the native personalities. With a minimum of 30% representation of Asian celebrities, the Bangkok Madame Tussauds is the most diverse one. Those who are looking for Bangkok tour packages to explore the real Bangkok will find a whiff of it in the indigenous celebrity statues from South Asia.
