Not only that, in Thailand also built new tourist objects that fascinate visitors, one of Madame Tussauds, which displays figures of celebrities and world figures of wax. This tourist attraction is located in the center of the capital, Bangkok, exactly on the sixth floor of Siam Discovery.

We visited Madame Tussauds on Monday (11 / 4), in a series of four-day trip, starting Sunday night through Wednesday night. Trip at the invitation of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the agency specifically responsible for the promotion of tourism in the country.

Madame Tussauds Museum in Bangkok was the first in Southeast Asia. There a similar museum in London, Amsterdam, Las Vegas, Washington DC, Hong Kong, New York, Shanghai, and Berlin.

Entering the museum that started operating in February 2011 it was standing replica of the leaders of Thailand and world figures, including celebrities and sports figures. At least 80 figures of world leaders is in the museum, among others, Barack Obama and his wife, Princess Diana, Queen Elizabeth II, Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, Albert Einstein, golfer Tiger Woods, soccer star David Beckham, and Madonna. Also other celebrities, like Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Michael Jackson, Will Smith, and Tata Young.

In the museum there is also a figure of legendary boxer Muhammad Ali in the same room with the legendary boxer Thailand, Khaosai Galaxy, who once against Indonesian boxer Elias Pical.

Figure Madame Tussauds museum itself is located at the far end, near the exit. He seems to hold the severed heads are also made of wax. Beside it there is a brief biography on the history of Madame Tussauds.

Madame Tussauds is born with the name Anna Maria Grosholt a legendary figure who perpetuate persistent world figures in the form of wax. He was born in Strasbourg, France, in 1761. His mother worked as a housekeeper for a doctor Philippe Curtius, a physician who is adept at making a wax statue. Curtius in educating Tussauds wax sculpture.

At age 17, Anna Maria Grosholt make a wax figure of Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire, French philosopher who is better known as Voltaire. He then married Francois Tussaud in 1795, and got two sons, Joseph (born in 1798) and Francis (born in 1800).

At the age of 41, Madame Tussauds in London to explore new opportunities. During the French Revolution (1789-1799), Tussauds made a lot of statues of the heads of the victims of war. He also founded the first museum Madame Tussauds in London.

Although made of wax, the statues are very similar to the original. Pulse streaks, wrinkles on the face, style, and accessories she was wearing was the same as the original figure. No wonder so many visitors that seek to perpetuate their presence in the museum with pictures with the characters, including me and my friends. Sound camera shots endlessly fulfilling every room in the museum.

In the museum there are also features interactive with audio and visual effects, regarding the activities carried out the characters, like playing ball. There is also a mini karaoke room, contains songs that Thailand could be tested by visitors. Unfortunately, after a tour in the museum, have not seen any figures from Indonesia who dipatungkan.

In addition to Madame Tussauds Museum, others visited tourist area of ​​Khao Yin is. This area is one area of ​​agribusiness in Thailand. Khao Yin had two pre-eminent, namely PB and Chok Chai Farm Winery. According Tijee, tour guide who accompanied us, Khao Yin means big mountain. In Indonesia, this region is almost equal to the peak area in Bogor.

This area can be reached within three hours from Bangkok by bus. PB Winery is a wine estate as well as manufacturing plant in Thailand. Here, tourists can try different flavors of wine, learn to make wine, and enjoy lunch with wine.

Choh Chai Farm is an exclusive camp as well as a means of entertainment for the family-themed cowboy life. Choh Chai Farm equipped farms, where the manufacture of ice cream, rodeo, horseback riding and a variety of exciting events for the whole family.

Travelers who stay can feel the sensation of a tent-shaped rooms, like a cowboy. Do not worry, though the form of tents, the room was very decent place to stay. In it as a luxury hotel with full facilities.

Vineyard

Business Development Manager for PB Partners, Heribert Gaksch, drove us around the vineyard using the open car, like a train. We also visited the winery in the region are operating since 13 years ago.

Unfortunately, at that most employees at the winery (a total staff of about 160 people) was off because it coincided with the celebration of Songkran, the Thai New Year celebration. At the celebration of Songkran, the majority of Thai people off, and going home to their hometown, as well as during Lebaran in Indonesia. As a result, we only see the space and the means of production of wine without seeing the actual production process.

Although grown in tropical regions, grapes could flourish in Khao Yai. According Heribert Gaksch, the growth of vines in the tropics instead of 30 percent faster than in Europe.

Not only grapes and processed products that can be enjoyed. PB Winery also cultivate grape seed to be cosmetic, such as hand lotions, shampoo, face cream and lip balm. Cosmetics from grape seeds is believed good for the skin because they contain high antioxidant.

Wine and cosmetics can also take home because PB Winery provides a small shop that sells these items. One bottle of wine can be bought with a price of about 500 to 1,000 baht or equivalent to Rp 150,000 to Rp 300,000.

After touring the vineyards, a delicious lunch can be enjoyed on the spot. Menu of fresh ground beef processed with the characteristic flavor of spicy Thai herbs make food taste on his feet. So there is no harm in trying to travel in that area if you want to learn, to enjoy the beauty of nature, and feel the sensation of cowboy
