Don't be too quick to accuse the people of Thailand of rudeness if no one here suddenly wants to talk to you. You simply mistook an exhibit for a person, and that is no surprise, since they are all extremely lifelike! The Thai Human Imagery Museum is an analogue of a wax museum, except that all the exhibits here are made not of wax, but of fiberglass.
This collection was created by a group of photographers led by Thai artist Duangkai Phityakornsilp. The goal of the project is simple: preserving the national heritage. After all, by admiring these copies of human figures, one can not only learn what a particular person looked like, but also glean information about the customs, culture, and art of different eras.
The museum halls are divided by themes and historical periods. Here, for example, you can see the kings of the Chakri dynasty, which was founded in 1782 by Rama I and remains the ruling dynasty to this day. You will also encounter artists, performers, and politicians, and not only Thai ones. Thus, standing side by side with Asians here are the 16th President of the United States Abraham Lincoln and the Prime Minister of Great Britain Winston Churchill.
