The Erawan Museum

Founder Lek Viriyaphant who was responsible for at least 3 of Thailand's big attractions including The Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya and Ancient Siam also founded The Erawan Museum. He wanted it to be a showcase of Asian people and it's 4 major religions.

A giant 3 headed elephant atop a rotunda stands out for its sheer size (17 stories high). You can get to the top by elevator and as the pictures reveal, a very beautiful structure inside. The structure began building in 1967.

The grounds outside were very beautiful and worthy of a visit alone.

This very unusual flower growing on a tree about eye level I could not identify. My friend thought it was an insect eating plant.

A beautiful lotus flower...
