Overview

    The enormous three-headed elephant monument that sits atop an equally enormous pedestal is home to the Erawan Museum in Bangkok. The 250-ton structure, which is 39 metres long and 29 metres high, is made of solid copper. It's a little outside of Bangkok in Samut Prakan, but you can still get there by taking the BTS Skytrain to Pu Chao Station on the Sukhumvit Line. About 1.7 kilometers to the south of the station is the museum.

Three levels make up the Erawan Museum in Bangkok, which stands for heaven, the earth, and the underworld. The museum features psychedelic décor, religious symbolism, and rare eastern antiquities almost everywhere.

Tours begin at the Suvannabhumi Level of the Erawan Museum, where you can view Chinese porcelain, Vietnamese vases, jade ornaments, tea sets from the Chakri Dynasty, and Benjarong pottery.

After viewing the surrealistic exhibits at Erawan Museum Bangkok, take in the gorgeous tropical grounds. Explore little streams, follow stone pathways, and feed carp schools in the rock ponds. The gardens are full of unusual plants and mythological statues that make for amazing photo opportunities.
