  • Erawan museum or the three headed elephant is situated in Samut Prakarn (on the way to Pak Nam). It is the most noticeable landmark in that area. 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 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. Each floor illustrates different kind of objects as follow:

    -Lower one demonstrates various antiques and exhibits the aim of the construction and Kun Lek and Kun Pakpein Viriyapant’s biography.

    -Upper floor illustrates many elaborate antique arts and objects. This floor’s design was mixed divisibly between western and eastern art’s style. The ceiling was decorated by stained glass by German artist.

    - The top one is the body of elephant placed the Buddha’s relics and Buddha images. The wall was ornamented with the exquisite painting of cosmos.

    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 a.m.-06.00p.m. Admission fee is 150 baht for adults and 50 baht for children.
