Ancient City Samut Prakan 76 Pavilions + Erawan Museum Day Tour

Hope Trip provides you with ticket booking for the Erawan Museum in Bangkok and more related information about the Erawan Museum. Built in 1994, the Erawan Museum in Bangkok has stood for twelve years. Located in the outskirts of Bangkok, it weighs 150 tons and is as tall as a sixteen‑storey building. It is the largest three‑headed elephant temple in Asia and a mysterious realm of Thai elephant deity culture. Visitors can take an elevator inside the elephant's leg to reach the museum in the elephant's belly, where they can also see many folk tale murals inlaid with stained glass.

Before entering the museum, visitors must remove their shoes to show piety and respect. After entering the main hall, you are greeted by the lofty temple that lets in light and has enamel ceilings. The ceiling features Western stained glass paired with a world map and zodiac signs. The entire hall is magnificent, with every detail a masterpiece — exquisite carvings and painted beams, breathtakingly beautiful, and dazzling to the eyes. The entire museum leaves no corner unadorned, with graceful divine relics and four pillars all depicting religious stories and the truth and allegory of world peace.

Besides the interior, there is also a beautifully landscaped pond outside. The various sculptures around the pond are derived from religious themes, and their expressions and postures appear lifelike.
