Erawan Museum
Erawan Museum
Have you ever caught the eyes? When headed to Samut Prakarn on Sukhumwit Road. What is the most noticeable landmark in that area? Yes! THE THREE-HEADED ELEPHANT. The size and the structure attract tons of people to worship it. In fact, it is a museum.

Inside the huge three-headed elephant and its round base is a museum, Erawan Museum. The three storeys inside the elephant contain antiquities and priceless collection of ancient religious objects of Kun Lek Viriyapant who is the museum owner. He is also the owner of the Ancient City and The Sanctuary of truth. It started from his friend's idea of apple-shaped construction, symbol of western religion, inspired him to build this building in the form of Erawan elephant, symbol of
Erawan elephant
eastern religion.
Its body made from bronze with pink pedestal rounded base
decorated with millions of little tiles. The body is about 29 meters height. The whole height is about 44 meters. The design of all three floors represents three worlds. The lower floor is the underwater world. The upper floor is the earth, Kao Prasumain. The top is the second heaven.
Kun Lek Viriyapant wishes this museum which keeps various priceless ancient objects became worth cultural heritage and it seems that his wish is coming true. Now many people, both Thais and foreigners, are astonished with his idea and attempt. We can say that his last masterpiece isn't less superior than his Ancient City and Sanctuary of truth.
Erawan museum is open everyday from 9.00 till 18.00. Admission fee is 150 baht for adults and 50 baht for children.
