After so many trips to Bangkok I decided to visit Erawan Museum. I took BTS train in Siam Station and arrived to Chang Erawan station. it tools me around 40 minutes. From Chang Erawan BTS station I took exit 1 and walk around 15 minutes to museum. You can buy tickets on the entrance for 400 THB, or book online here with cheaper prices. Next to the tickets booth you can buy some Thai snacks and drinks. Museum itself is wonderful. Looks like a mix of Chinese, Thai and Indian cultures. Many interesting things to discover for yourself. Museum surrounded with many elephants. This place is also very instagramable. You can take a lot of nice photos. #bangkoktrip

Famous for its giant three-headed elephant art display, Erawan Museum is divided into three main floors according to the Hindu representation of the universe, which consists of the Underworld, Earth, and Heaven. Mesmerized by the stained-glass roof as you walk up the stairways the moment you entered the museum. The highest floor is what Thais believe to be heaven, is painted with a star map and exhibits various buddha statues. Don't forget to check out their small but neat garden and their shrines on your way out. 🚝 easiest way to reach is by train (about 35mins ride from the city center, with 10mins walk from Chang Erawan BTS). 🎟 400 baht for foreigners ⏰ 9am - 7pm. Best time to visit is in the morning or nearer to closing time for a lesser crowd although this place isn’t as crowded as Wat Arun or the Grand Palace. We reached around 10am and have the whole place to (almost) ourselves. 👗 no sleeveless attires and above knee-length skirts or pants. 📍The Erawan Museum #tripblazers #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #bangkok #thailand #Erawanmuseum

Bangkok's off-the-beaten-path attractions, easily accessible by BTS. Girl's heart bursting pink palace. 🐘The Erawan Museum Bangkok, Museum of Three-Headed Elephant 💖 The Erawan Museum is different from traditional temples. The atmosphere here is full of love and hope, and it is a comprehensive museum that integrates the universe and the gods. The pink building is really eye-catching, and the interior of the museum is also in pink tones. The dragon-shaped staircase leads to the top, symbolizing reaching the heavens. The statues and murals along the stairs are full of details. The top glass window of the universe is very shocking, like the universe enveloping everything. The top museum is the world beyond the universe, where the atmosphere is even more serious and quiet. 🚇The transportation to the museum is very convenient! Take the BTS Sukhumvit Line to Chang Erawan Station (E17), Exit 2, and walk about 1km for approximately 10 minutes. 📝 1. No drinks or food allowed to be brought in. 2. Shoes must be taken off before entering the museum (there is a place to put shoes at the entrance). 3. No entry in tank tops, halter dresses, or super short shorts. 4. It is recommended to go early for indoor photography, as there are many guests in the afternoon.

Marvel at this shrine and museum due to its unique features inside and outside! I was in awe. The level of details on each pillars. You'll also get to learn more about Siam porcelains and potteries. You will also read about how Chinese and Europeans influenced Thai crafts. You should pay a visit and make sure to go to the top. It's a surprise to me that's why I didn't include the pictures for that. #travel #asia #thailand #awesomepic

Come to this place just to view the beautiful architecture or touch the Elephants. The natural beauty is incredibly mesmerizing as well! There are all sorts of Buddhist and Hindu gods here to pray to & the incredible part is how they incorporate the stories and lessons of all the well known religions around the world.

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.

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.

The Erawan Museum in Bangkok is housed in a colossal three-headed elephant monument atop an equally massive pedestal. The 250-tonne structure, made of solid copper, stands 29 meters tall and 39 meters long. It's a little outside of Bangkok, in Samut Prakan, but you can reach there by taking the BTS Skytrain (Sukhumvit Line) to Pu Chao Station. The museum is located around 1.7 kilometers south of the station. The three levels of the Erawan Museum in Bangkok represent the underworld, human earth, and heaven.

I have a pink nightmare here is a museum that girls will fall in love with, and the long-awaited Bangkok Three Elephants Museum! A pink world full of girls. The pink dreamy hall, two winding stairs, one pink and one white. The stained glass on the top of the head is a map of the world and the zodiac. Looking up, I feel the universe is vast.
