Bangkok's Pink Elephant Museum, a romance you never expected.

This is a scenic spot with a strong internet celebrity atmosphere, with many romantic elements: Pink temples, elephant sculptures throughout the garden, stained glass windows, philosophical murals...you can probably spend half a day playing here. 🌟Highlight features: Exquisitely designed with bright colors, very photogenic. Understand the meaning of elephant deity in Thai people's lives. Experience the Eastern view of the universe, contemplation on the relationship between heaven, earth, gods, and humans. This is also a museum, it is said that the owner is a Chinese businessman, and all the historical relics and artworks inside are the owner's collection. 👍Most recommended: Other than taking photos 📷, don't miss the chance to explore both inside and outside of Sanxiang. Walk around the main building and all the elephants will make a sound. 👎Least recommended: Quite far from the city center, inconvenient transportation. From the perspective of historical and cultural value, it may not be worth a special trip. The overall look of the building is very exquisite, but the craftsmanship in the details cannot be compared with domestic craftsmen. After seeing it in person, the lion sculpture looks a bit cartoonish in shape. 📝Attention tips: The weather is hot, bring enough water on the road, and there are not many shops around.

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.
