ERAWAN MUSEUM
Outside the city, in a garden of Naga sculptures and other fabled Thai beings, you’ll find this mammoth building. Constructed in the shape of a mythical three-headed elephant, it would be a marvel to look at even if it didn’t house ancient artifacts within. Built by the owners of the Ancient City, it is divided into three “worlds” , “underworld” contains antiquities like Chakri dynasty tea set; ‘Earth’ is a technicolour hall embellished with religious iconography and stained glass; and ‘Heaven’, inside the elephant’s belly, is a concave space filled with standing Buddhas and abstract murals. The building is also a site of worship. Rumour has it that a Thai girl prayed here before buying what turned out to be a winning lottery ticket.
