The Erawan Museum

I visited an amazing museum. The Erawan Museum. The purpose of the Museum is to continue the traditions of Thai arts and crafts and disseminate knowledge of the national culture for the Thai people and the public.

It contains precious images of Buddha and art pieces from the fifteenth century to be preserved for generations to come.

The Museum building itself is a three headed huge elephant made of pounded copper. Three stories high. It is huge, and completely overwhelming in its beauty.

Inside is so beautiful it is hard to explain. On the cieling is a mosaic of the stars, and astrological figures in a stained glass dome. There are so many amazing things to see and do here that it is a must see.

Unusual not your usual tourist attraction. The Thai people believe that if they visit this site it will bring prosperity

It costs 150 baht. There are many other things to do that require a 20baht donation. It is located 99/9 M.1 Muang Samut Parkan. Samut Prokan Province 10270 Telephone 0-2372-3135-6 Open 8-5 everyday.
