Stunning pink museum in Bangkok 💗💗

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

Are you into Artifacts? One of the best place to get to know more about Thailand ❤️ The Erawan Museum is known for its giant three-headed elephant art sculpture as exterior. This is the first and biggest hand-carved sculpture in the world--43 meters high. Interesting place to visit if you have time to spare. Good place to snap some photos and to observe Buddhist culture. Place is easy to visit via the Chang-Erawan BTS station from Bangkok city center. Short taxi ride is required upon exiting the station but on return, free shuttle from museum is available. Erawan Museum, truly stands to be called one of Bangkok’s most unique attractions. The Erawan Museum houses one of Thailand’s most exquisite private art collections while simultaneously serving as a visual representation of the three-tiered cosmology of Thailand’s Theravada Buddhism: the underworld, the human world and the heavens. 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.
