Located in Samut Prakan Province (29 km south of Bangkok) is a graceful museum, which contains a priceless collection of antiques. Many of them, in the past, were viewed as sacred objects that brought fertility and prosperity to the land. The building itself was designed and built in a unique style.
Standing on the museum’s rooftop is a statue of Airavata (Erawan in Thai), a three-headed elephant in Hindu mythology. The Erawan is not only the god Indra’s vehicle but also a symbol of the eastern cosmography. Since its completion, the elephant has become one of the most revered objects in the province.
