🇹🇭I've been playing in Bangkok for a week, and this is my favorite place~ The Erawan Museum It's the kind of place that will make you go 'wow' as soon as you walk in. - 💛The ticket price on site is 400 baht, but it's a bit cheaper for foreigners, you can book it online for 50-60R. - The best time for taking photos is from 16 to 17 o'clock, the only downside is that there is no air conditioning inside, the day we went was cool, otherwise it would be a bit like a steamer. - ❤️Outfit suggestions: Any color that matches with pink is super suitable, such as light blue, white, silver, light gold. A flowing long skirt will add more beauty~ - 🚌Transportation: 221,99/9, Tambon Bang Muang Mai, Amphoe Mueang Samut Prakan, Chang Wat Samut Prakan Take the BTS Sukhumvit line to Chang Erawan station exit 2, it's about a 10-minute walk. - ❤️Photo angles: 1⃣The classic front entrance, wide angle, can accommodate more space, the photo is super shocking 2⃣The stairs on the left and right sides are symmetrical, you can take a top-down shot from anywhere, one side is pink, the other side is white, both are beautiful 3⃣Take a shot from the stairs to the ceiling, this dome is just too beautiful for words 4⃣There are also many angles outside, as long as it's in the sunlight, any shot will be beautiful

The Three-Headed Elephant Museum in Bangkok is worth a visit (Part 2)

When it comes to this Three-Headed Elephant Museum (also known as the Pink Temple), as a Chinese, I should be proud again. Both here and the 72 Prefecture Scenic Area (Ancient City of Siam, will be introduced in detail later) are from the hands of Mr. Lin Guohua, a Thai-Chinese. Although it is called a museum, the exquisite architecture and the majestic momentum are far beyond ordinary museums. Sitting in the car, you can see a huge circular pink building and a three-headed elephant sitting on the building from a distance! The exhibition area on the first floor is not allowed to take pictures, all of which are part of the cultural relics collected by Mr. Lin in Thailand. By the way, if you have been to Pattaya and seen a black temple with pure wooden mortise and tenon structure, that also belongs to him. Following the stairs upwards, the second floor represents the world, and the third floor represents heaven. Everywhere you look, every brick, stone, wood, and mirror has its own changes, especially the entire circular roof, which is the map of the entire world. Under the universal sky, we are all one family!

A Spiritual Journey at the Erawan Museum in Bangkok

Stepping into the Erawan Museum in Bangkok, a gigantic three-headed elephant statue stands majestically before you, exuding an aura of reverence and sanctity. The bronze statue towers into the sky, emanating an ancient and mysterious charm. Approaching the base of the statue, you are greeted with a rich tapestry of Thai culture and religious imagery, with every inch of space seemingly narrating a story of history. Ascending the spiral staircase, the stained glass ceiling inside is dreamlike, with sunlight filtering through, illuminating the entire space with a mystical and splendid glow. The museum houses many precious Buddhist artifacts and artworks, each quietly conveying wisdom and peace. While offering prayers and meditating in the belly of the elephant, the complexities of the mind seem to dissipate with the rising incense smoke, replaced by a sense of pure tranquility. As I left, I paused to look back, and the three-headed elephant appeared as a guardian deity, eternally preserving the power of tradition and faith under the sky of this city. This journey was not only a cultural exploration but also a purification and baptism of the soul.
