Traveler reviews

★★★★★3 months agoMadame Tussauds Bangkok was great! The wax figures look incredibly realistic, some of them honestly feel like you’re standing next to the real person. I really appreciated the detail and effort put into each figure. I do wish they had a bit more to see, as it felt slightly smaller than expected, but overall it was still a really fun experience. I got the ticket together with SEA LIFE, which was a good combo deal. Just a heads up though they’re not in the exact same spot, so you’ll need to walk a bit as they’re in different areas/shopping centres. Overall, definitely worth visiting if you’re in Bangkok. Fun, interactive, and great for photos!

★★★★★2 months agoThis place was such a unique and enjoyable experience. The wax figures are incredibly lifelike featuring celebrities, historical figures, sports icons, world leaders, and Thai local icons. It’s easy to forget at first glance that they’re not real people. The museum is more of a playful photo playground than a traditional museum, which makes it super fun. There are lots of up-close photo ops
