Madame Tussauds Bangkok is a wax museum inside Siam Discovery, in the Siam shopping area.

You can get close for photos and interact with some displays, including sets with costumes and staged scenes. The visit is compact, with around 90 minutes to two hours suggested for seeing the museum. It suits families and anyone after an indoor photo stop; if your Bangkok schedule is tight, it is easy to leave for another day.
A wax museum in Siam Discovery
Madame Tussauds Bangkok opened in 2010 at Siam Discovery. It is part of an international wax museum group and was the first branch in Southeast Asia. The museum’s collection brings together public figures from Thailand and around the world, including celebrities, athletes, political leaders, scientists and historical figures.
The displays are arranged in themed sections. The range includes figures from film, music, sport and history, so the people you recognize will depend on your interests. You may also come across figures from Bollywood and local Thai personalities.
How the displays work
This is an interactive visit rather than a gallery where you only look at figures from a distance. In many areas, you can pose beside the wax models and take photographs. Some sets provide a scene to step into, such as a luxury plane interior or a themed social media backdrop. Costumes are available to try in parts of the museum.
Touching is allowed in many areas, but not in the room displaying Thai royal figures. Follow the instructions for each section and take care around the models. The museum is inside Siam Discovery, making it straightforward to combine with time in the surrounding shopping area.
