The Three Heads Museum was built by a wealthy Thai businessman Lek Viriyapant who invested tens of millions of dollars. The main idea came from the preservation of traditional art and the manifestation of world peace. Therefore, various traditional handicraft methods were used to build this full-strength museum. The 76th House (Ancient Siam) in the district is also from the same wealthy businessman.

This museum can be regarded as an emerging tourist attraction in the urban area of Bangkok in the near future, and I have not noticed it. It was not until November that the Tourism Authority of Thailand had the opportunity to come in. The experience after the visit was only two words-"shock".First of all, the tour guide took us to the place where fragrant flower candles are sold in the museum area. Because visiting the museum requires the purchase of tickets, the relative garden will also provide free incense, candles, and flowers for visitors to worship and worship. In addition, the lotus on the table is also At that time, tourists may wish to add some sesame oil money to take away a "bowl" of water lotus.
There is a sacrificial area around the park, which is mainly for tourists to worship with incense, and I checked the book "Bangkok Chiang Mai Raiders" and learned that there is a bronze elephant in front of the table. Make a wish in front of you. Girls use the index finger of their non-dominant hand, and boys use the ring finger. If you can lift the elephant, it means your wish is about to come true.

Guided tour of The Erawan Museum
The main building of the museum is divided into two parts. The upper part is a three-headed elephant made of pure copper by the masters. The head weighs about 150 metric tons and the elephant body weighs about 100 metric tons. The overall height is about 29 meters. The front and back length is about 39 meters, and the pink Ou-Thai-style mixed building that supports the three elephants is 43.6 meters tall!After visiting the scene in person, it was even more shocking.The interior can be divided into three parts: "underground", "world" and "heaven".
Diya
This area is to display all the antiques collected by the founder Lek Viriyapant, including ceramics, furniture, and idols. The structure of the museum and the legend of the three-headed idols are shown in pictures and videos. The contents of the private collection are extremely precious, so It is forbidden to take pictures.
A human
The so-called human world refers to the pink main part of the building. After stepping in, you will first see the four main pillars supporting them. All of them are cast with tin by handicraft masters, and the stories of the four major religions are hammered out, including " "Buddhism", "Hinduism", "Islam" and "Christianity". Immediately on both sides of the first staircase are three-headed elephants made of cloisonne porcelain. On the second floor is the statue of Jinnali, a bird and god, holding different musical instruments. Lifelike.
Walking up, you will see a Thai-style corner pavilion in the center, which is dedicated to the statue of Guanyin in Buddhism, but I believe the stained glass on the roof is what attracts everyone’s attention. It is said that it was hired from abroad. Compared with our Kaohsiung Formosa MRT station, the brilliant colors of the world map made by artisans are not much better.
The overall interior hall is completed with Thai traditional architectural techniques, and a large number of cloisonne porcelains are used to complete all the designs in a collage method. The techniques are very delicate and worthy of everyone's attention.

▲ There is a saying that it is a Guanyin image of "China's Sui Dynasty", but after inquiry, it is different from the general circulated.
▲ I can see the skillful craftsmanship of these masters.
▲ [Humanoid scale] How big the interior hall is, they know (^^b) when they look at Xiaosha who is going there together.
▲ In fact, you can also take the elevator up.
▲ According to the guide, you should come from the left hand side (right side of the photo) when you walk up, and from the other side when you go down.

heaven
Climbing up the stairs along the small teak wood staircase, the walls are full of flying heavens and gods hand-painted by the masters, as if being led to heaven.After entering the block of paradise, there is a hand-painted 12 constellation map as the main design of the dome. On both sides are stone Buddha statues of different dynasties collected from all over Thailand, and the middle is the Buddha statue. At that time, there were some local tourists sitting on the ground and listening to Master. Explain that there is an air conditioner running above it, but it is not too hot. In addition, the atmosphere is very peaceful and the mood is very comfortable.
There are many small bottles in front of the Buddha, filled with holy water, and can be taken away with a little sesame oil. The amount is up to you.When I left, there were still a few student volunteers on the scene, and even one of them spoke a little Chinese, telling me that this statue of Buddha was very effective, so there are usually many tourists, and I am very shy to welcome me again when I have a chance. Go for a visit.Finally, some lotus flowers and plants were planted in the museum park. You can take a walk with your family and friends before you leave!
▲ [Stone Buddha statues on both sides] are historical sites, dating back to the Sukhothai period as far as possible, and because they are antiques, it was said at that time that you could not take photos of these stone Buddha statues.
