A wonderful place to visit. We chose a golf cart as our means of transportation, and I can't imagine sightseeing without it. The cost of the golf cart is 350 Baht for the first hour and then 100 Baht for each subsequent hour. Remember to bring an ID, which you leave as a deposit. The place is massive, and we probably didn't see everything anyway. Some of the structures are breathtaking. Room for improvement: better road signs pointing toward the attractions. Unfortunately, the QR code didn't work, so we couldn't access the audio guide. The worst part was having lunch at the floating market. The food we got was completely tasteless, and my husband found a bug in his soup!! The mango smoothie was very watered down. We definitely do not recommend eating there. Erawan Museum — a magnificent three-headed elephant. Going inside is an amazing experience. Covered shoulders and legs are mandatory for women. We highly recommend it!

Ancient City was well worth the visit; we really enjoyed it. I’d definitely recommend renting a golf cart because the grounds are quite large! The Erawan Museum with the bronze elephant was also fantastic. Highly recommended, and buying tickets here was easy.

The place was incredible. The three-headed statue is so colossal and majestic. The park offers a lush green setting and a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok. The museum is also worth a visit. It’s a must-see if you’re spending a few days in Bangkok!

It was an excellent place to visit. Beautiful structures, greenery and space. You can easily move by golfcart and enjoy ice-cream, coconut water and food at several places in between.

The mystical Erawan

Step into the world of Hindu mythology at the Erawan Museum, where legend comes to life as a colossal three-headed elephant. This structure honors Erawan, the sacred 33-headed white elephant of folklore, who carried God Indra between heaven and earth. Symbolizing virtuous action and prosperity, the museum spans three levels representing the Underworld, Earth, and Heaven. Here, you'll discover eastern antiques, religious iconography, and mesmerizing decor that bring ancient tales to vibrant life.

A cosmic journey

Begin your adventure at the Suvannabhumi level, marveling at rare artifacts like Chinese porcelain and Benjarong ceramics. Ascend to the Earth section, representing Mount Meru, where technicolor walls burst with artistic exuberance. Your journey peaks in the Tavatimsa Heaven, where art and spirituality blend in stunning Buddha images. After exploring these surreal displays, take a moment to wander through the museum's lush gardens, allowing the serenity of your surroundings to sink in.
