Erawan Museum – A Grand Pink Temple with a Giant Elephant on Top 🐘💗

#thailandtrip This place is next-level stunning! As soon as I saw the building — a soft pink palace with a huge black three-headed elephant towering over it — I was speechless. It’s bold, dramatic, and impossible to miss. You’ll probably stop for photos before you even go in 😍📸 Inside, it’s even more magical. You take off your shoes and start exploring from the ground floor up. The interior is filled with detailed carvings, mythical creatures, and this incredible spiral staircase guarded by dragon sculptures 🐉✨ The soft pink tones continue inside, and the light shining through the stained-glass dome makes the whole space glow 🌈 It feels elegant, otherworldly, and super photogenic. And then… you go inside the elephant! Yes — there’s a whole spiritual space in there, quiet and peaceful, with Buddha statues and celestial artwork that makes it feel like you’re floating in the sky 🌌 The garden outside is also lovely, with elephant statues, koi ponds, and little shaded spots to chill. It’s a perfect mix of spiritual, cultural, and aesthetic — and a must-visit if you’re in Bangkok and love beautiful spaces with meaning 🩷 #historicallandmarks #traveladdict #travelasia #erawanmuseum #lifeisgood #enjoythemoment #asianwoman #asianwomantravels #samutprakan #thailand #thailandtravel #thailandmuseum #thailand🇹🇭 #shortgetaway #daytripfrombkk
