This museum is indeed unique. Not sure it was that interesting though. Definitely enjoyed wandering around and looking at the exhibits, but as a museum, well, I've seen more interesting Thai museums in little cities like Lampang and Nakhon Si Thammarat. The key attractions are the inside of the building beneath the giant elephant and the gardens surrounding the museum. Unfortunately, despite the beauty of the gardens, it's not really relaxing due to the noise of the highways surrounding the property. Access is by taxi, public bus, or BTS. If you take BTS, it's about a 20 minute walk from the nearest station. I personally thought this museum was a bit overpriced at 400 thb, but be aware that you can buy tickets online from discount sellers. If you do this, you must first present the voucher at a special ticket window to the right of the cafeteria to get a paper ticket for entry.

Definitely a must visit if you’d like your photo taken in the thai traditional costume, and for no other reason. The place is small and frankly the only sight to see is the beautiful interior. They offer the costume for rental at 400-600 baht. We purchased entry ticket to both Ancient City and Erawan Museum via Klook, and hence visited this place. Would give this place a skip if this is the only stop you’re making.

If you don’t have anything to do in Bangkok, take the train to visit Erawan Museum. The architecture is very unique. In addition, it’s not only to visit but also you can pray. Me and my friends decided to use the Skytrain and it takes about 30 mins which is very convenient. I bought the ticket via Klook and it’s cheaper than the price if you buy directly.

The Erawan Museum is about 25km southeast of the main part of Bangkok by the Grand Palace, so we combined it with a few other activities and hired a Grab driver for the day. That worked out really nicely. The three-headed elephant is GIANT, and it stands on a tall plinth, so you can see if from a good distance away. 400 Baht to get in. There's a whole little complex with places to eat and gift shops. The shrine inside the plinth part of the elephant is very pretty and ornate. You can walk up the stairs to the higher portion or take an elevator. There is one more area up a short set of stars from where the elevator stops. This smaller space has some beautiful statues (butthis area is a no-photos area). Keep in mind that beyond this, there is one more area on the very bottom to see. Go outside of the elephant and find the small doors that lead you in. We almost missed them, but the stuff inside was nice. Finally, walk around the little pond with the colorful elephants and other statuary. The place is kinda weird and very pretty. We enjoyed it.

It might seem kitschy at first sight, but it is definitely worth a visit. Don't forget to go to the top floor. Easy to reach with skytrain and bus (of a short walk for the last mile).

The museum is named for the mythological elephant Erawan, whose statue is probably the most prominent feature. There are several shrines dotted around the beautiful gardens, but the main attraction is inside the Erawan Museum hall which also acts as the pedestal upon which the statue is also surmounted. The giant three-headed elephant stands an incredible 29 metres tall and is visible from either of the aforementioned stations. The hall itself is also worthy of mention. It has a stunning staircase with the first level leading to a beautiful green statue of Buddha, then spirals up around the hallway. The top floor is more like a prayer hall representing the Trayastriṃsa. The altar had an image of a standing Buddha in the foreground, while at the back there is a seated Buddha, guarded by Naga. The museum is located on the outskirts of Bangkok. The closest stations are Pu Chao and the Chang Erawan BTS stations. It can be a pain to get to in the heat, but it’s totally worth it.

We took a short taxi ride and were greeted by lovely hosts. getting tickets processed was smooth (booked via klook) and the place looked absolutely stunning. highly recommend to come here not just for photos but to learn about the creators who believed in unity love and peace. the temple portion was stunning and we were greeted and shown around by a lovely man called Saramwuut (he was not a paid guide but was the kindest soul with great english to show us around and make us feel welcome).

Nice place to worship and see all antique You can come here by BTS Pu Chao or BTS Erawan After your trip you can buy a shuttle bus ticket only THB 20, ut will drop you off at BTS Erawan station
