★★Worth it·Three-headed elephant
Erawan Museum
พิพิธภัณฑ์ช้างเอราวัณ
A 250-tonne three-headed bronze elephant standing on a museum — climb through its belly into a stained-glass cosmos. Gloriously surreal.
The three-headed bronze elephant, fifteen storeys tall, with a museum inside its belly — climb through the pink stairway spiraling up a leg into a stained-glass cosmos. Kitsch and genuinely magnificent at once. Pair with Ancient City; same family, same road.
