Bangkok - Madame Tussauds

Given a choice between Kidzania Bangkok & Madame Tussauds, AJ chose the latter.  He asked if Kidzania Bangkok is similar to the one he went in Kuala Lumpur & the Baby Boss in Taipei, he got an affirmative yes from me. Am I not glad that he understands there is an opportunity cost to everything?

We, adults, also prefer him to go to Madame Tussauds because it is an opportunity for him to know who's who, though not in real life, but in life size wax figures.

Currently, Madame Tussauds is in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Hollywood, Las Vegas, New York, Washington DC , Bangkok & Vienna.  They are coming to Singapore real soon!

The wax figures are categorised into 8 sections, namely, History, Art & Science, Leaders, Sports, Music, Film, TV & Red Carpet.  When taking photos with the wax figures, do try to be as comical as possible.  After all, they are not real figures, & we are there for fun!

Celebrity - Film, TV, Red Carpet & Music

Obviously, the boy is not a born dancer!

Another evidence

I didn't know Bruce Lee was that skinny!

Don't ask me why Doraemon is there too

This one he must know, since he sings quite a few of her songs :)

History, Art & Science

He looks like a magician than a musician!

Another one that I don't know why 'he' is there

Sports

Leaders

The father knows how to act cool!

I wanna kiss him, just like what Zoe did to the then PM!

The boy had quite a lot of fun posing with those figures.  There are more photos which I didn't post up here.  Do try to purchase the ticket online as they would be cheaper.  You may buy direct from Madame Tussauds website or google for cheaper ones.  Or you may get your tickets here.

Madame Tussauds is at the 6th floor of Siam Discovery Centre, nearest BTS being Siam station, is within walking distance.  This tour is about an hour only, so you may want to consider bringing your children to Kidzania, which is at Siam Paragon, if they are keen. To give you a better picture of the location, these 3 shopping malls are just next to each other: Siam Paragon (Kidzania), Siam Centre, Siam Discovery Centre (Madame Tussauds).  


We stayed in Glow Pratunam Hotel (review here), visited Safari World and the Floating & the Railway Markets.
The boy read this book <Bangkok Guide for kids, by kids> to help him understand Bangkok.
