At Madame Tussauds Bangkok, we see the western and eastern cultures coalesce into one- celebrating names from South East Asia and the West alike, the exhibits at Madame Tussauds Bangkok stretch the boundaries of space and time.The Wax Museum is separated into ten different themed zones, each taking one through a portal into a different time and space. Offering a chance to rub shoulders with celebrities, sport icons, historical legends and political figureheads, the thrill value of the Museum is set quite high. Every exhibit is imagined against a natural background: you will find the Obamas discussing politics in the Oval Office, and Tiger Woods sitting down to prepare for a shot on a golf course.Madame Tussauds Bangkok is also one of the most interactive of its sister museums.
