The Elephant Museum

Bangkok has everything you need, but sometimes it’s fun to venture out for a bit. The, “elephant museum” is the perfect detour. The museum is well-known and recognized for the giant, three headed elephant statue coming out of the top of the temple. In fact, it’s the largest hand carved statue in the world Erawan Museum is decked out in intricately carved staircases and wall fixtures. Inside and outside, it boasts gorgeous shades of pastel and fluorescent pinks. Crazy to believe this place was practically handmade. Getting There - Taxi/grab is the best way, but you can also get there by taking the BTS to Pu Chao Station.

The Erawan Museum

Are you into Artifacts? One of the best place to get to know more about Thailand ❤️ The Erawan Museum is known for its giant three-headed elephant art sculpture as exterior. This is the first and biggest hand-carved sculpture in the world--43 meters high. Interesting place to visit if you have time to spare. Good place to snap some photos and to observe Buddhist culture. Place is easy to visit via the Chang-Erawan BTS station from Bangkok city center. Short taxi ride is required upon exiting the station but on return, free shuttle from museum is available. Erawan Museum, truly stands to be called one of Bangkok’s most unique attractions. The Erawan Museum houses one of Thailand’s most exquisite private art collections while simultaneously serving as a visual representation of the three-tiered cosmology of Thailand’s Theravada Buddhism: the underworld, the human world and the heavens. The Erawan Museum was commissioned to be built by Mr. Lek Viriyapant (Prapai Viriyapant), in order to preserve his personal collection of antiques and sacred objects in a manner that would contribute to Thai heritage.
