Message from Adriana Neptuna

The Erawan Museum is one of the most underrated gems in Bangkok. You’ve probably seen photos of its massive, three-headed elephant statue—that’s the entrance! But what’s inside? A mix of surreal architecture, insane craftsmanship, and a bit of spiritual energy.

What’s Inside?

🐘 The Giant Three-Headed Elephant – The museum is literally inside this beast. It’s made of bronze, weighs 250 tons, and stands 43 meters high!
🌀 The Main Hall – A jaw-dropping interior with a pink ceiling, stained glass dome, and an elaborate spiral staircase that looks like something out of a dream.
🌌 The Upper Floor – A sacred space filled with Buddha relics and celestial-themed artwork—super peaceful and worth a quiet moment.
🌿 The Gardens – Beautifully designed, with fountains and sculptures. A great place to relax after exploring inside.

Things to Know:

💰 Entry Fee: 500 THB (~$14 USD/£12) for foreigners. Pricey, but totally worth it.
🕰 Opening Hours: 9 AM - 6 PM daily.
🚇 Getting There: Take the BTS to Chang Erawan Station, then grab a short taxi or tuk-tuk.
📸 Super Instagrammable – Every corner is ridiculously photogenic, so bring your camera!

It’s a mix of art, history, and spirituality, all wrapped up in one insane elephant-shaped museum. Definitely worth a visit if you love unique places! 🐘✨
