Erawan Museum

There's nothing like driving home from the plant and seeing a huge three headed elephant statue on the side of the road. After having been rerouted on the way home from the plant due to heavy rains in the Samut Prakan province, we were able to see this incredible statue in the distance. A quick drive around the museum gave me some time to snap a few shots of this massive elephant.

This building was built to symbolize of the spiritual heart of the land where sacred objects of the land were housed and reserved. The three heads represent virtue, beauty and fertility of oriental culture. Tours run daily at the museum where visitors can see a collection of Thai antiques and art.
