🇹🇭Must-visit Bangkok! Enter the dreamy pink kingdom💖Detailed guide to the Three-Headed Elephant Museum

Help! This trip to Bangkok has found a treasure spot✨The Three-Headed Elephant Museum is so beautiful that it is breathtaking! From the exterior to the interior, it is full of details. Whether you are a culture lover or a photo enthusiast, you can get a lot here~ 🔥Three core highlights must be rushed 1️⃣ Super shocking bronze elephant sculpture This 43.6-meter-high three-headed elephant is Erawan, the mount of Indra in Indian mythology! Hundreds of thousands of pieces of copper skin are hand-knocked, with a thickness of 1.2 mm. When you look up, you will be conquered by its momentum. 🫣The elephant body exudes solemnity and auspiciousness, and the appearance alone is worth the price! 2️⃣ Three floors full of surprises ✅ Hell layer: full of antique Buddha statues, exquisite porcelain and jade, travel back to ancient Thailand in a second ✅ Human layer: Thai, Cambodian, and European styles collide, and there are art easter eggs everywhere ✅ Heaven layer: The secret place hidden in the elephant's belly! Gorgeous astronomical paintings + glass dome, so beautiful that it will take your breath away~ 3️⃣ The story behind it is very interesting It took 9 years to build by the wealthy collector Lek Viriyapant. Construction started in 1994 and it was opened in 2003! He also founded the Ancient City Museum and the Temple of Truth. Each work is full of sincerity~ 🚇Transportation Guide Take the BTS to Chang Erawan Station and walk for 10 minutes to arrive! Super convenient~ ⚠️Visiting TIPS ❶ Take off your shoes in the temple venue, remember to wear socks that are comfortable to walk in ❷ Dress modestly and avoid shorts and sleeveless tops ❸ Taking photos is prohibited in some areas, don’t forget to abide by the rules~ 💌Personal private advice If you love pink buildings, want to immerse yourself in Thai-Indian culture, or want to take blockbuster photos that will go viral on WeChat Moments, this is definitely a paradise! But if you are tired of visiting temples and attractions, you can also consider making arrangements~ In short, this place is really unforgettable at first sight, and the recommended index is full marks 💯 I want to rush again next time! #BangkokTrafficGuide
