World famous Madame Tussauds waxwork museum has officially opened in Bangkok at Siam Discovery on December 4th 2010. Madame Tussauds Bangkok is the first in Southeast Asia, the third in Asia and 10th in worldwide.

"The 2,000-square-meter Madame Tussauds Bangkok will provide an iconic new landmark for the Siam area," says Weerachote Thirawayamakul, PR and external relations manager of Madame Tussauds Bangkok.

"It will offer an interactive experience to visitors, using state-of-the-art technology and dramatic backdrops to showcase a range of incredibly lifelike wax figures."

Among the highlights at Madame Tussauds Bangkok is the Royal Room where wax figures reflect local culture and Thai loyalty to the monarchy. The room allows visitors to not only learn about the life of His Majesty's parents but also the history of the Chakri Dynasty.
The Celebrity Room is where visitors can get up close and personal with over 70 international and local stars, from historic figures and world leaders like President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Field Marshall Plaek Pibulsonggram, Ann Thongprasom, and Dr Pornthip Rojanasunan to arts and science personalities such as Beethoven, Einstein, and Sunthorn Phu.
They will be joined by world-famous movie stars, singers and sports heroes as well as international A-listers such as Michael Jackson, David Beckham, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Angelina Jolie.
