What the Erawan Museum is
The museum is built inside and beneath a giant metal statue of Erawan, the three-headed elephant of Hindu and Buddhist mythology. It was created by Lek Viriyaphant, the founder of Ancient City and Pattaya's Sanctuary of Truth.

A day from Pattaya
The museum is in Samut Prakan, on the Sukhumvit Road side of Bangkok. Pair it with Ancient City, also in Samut Prakan, for one long day by car, or stop on the way to or from Bangkok: see the Bangkok day trip.
Who it suits
It suits anyone who liked the Sanctuary of Truth and wants a second, very different building by the same family, and visitors interested in Thai religious art. It is a smaller site than Ancient City.
