Erawan Elephant Museum - Unusual
Don't let the category "Museum" fool you, it's odd, interesting and worthy of a visit
The most astonishing landmark of Samut Prakan Province is perhaps the Erawan Museum. Since its completion, the colossal three-headed elephant statue (250 tons in weight, 20 metres high and 39 metres long) standing on the pink pedestal has become one of the most revered objects in the province, which has attracted large numbers of worshippers.
Hidden underneath the gigantic bronze sculpture of Airavata elephant (Erawan in Thai) is a 3-storey museum housing numerous priceless antiques and religious objects. Many of them, in the past, were viewed as sacred objects that brought fertility and prosperity to the land
ideally use the free shuttle bus for the museum and then onto Muang Boran
