The Erawan Museum, Sacred art museum in Samut Prakan, Thailand
The three-headed elephant structure rises 29 meters from a pedestal, with the building interior containing three levels representing Thai cosmology.
Construction began in 1994 under the direction of Lek Viriyaphant, who aimed to preserve Thai architectural heritage through this monumental structure.
The museum exhibits ancient religious artifacts, decorative arts, and antiques from Thailand, China, and India across multiple themed floors.
The museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages and convenient access from Bangkok.
Within the elephant sculpture, visitors ascend through different cosmic realms, from the underworld to heaven, via ornate staircases.
