★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Such a cool muesuem. I intially though that the muesem would've been all around the three headed elephant. But upon my arrival I was magically surprised when the museum is within the elephant itself. What's not to love?

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No air conditioner inside, makes it an unbearable torture, impossible to appreciate and to justify the trip and price of entry.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place let down by horrible food and beverage. We had coffee at the premises. It was cheap and tasted nasty. Even worse, my boiling hot latte was poured into a thin plastic cup. Obviously, this cafe operator has not been taught that the hot coffee would melt bits of the plastic cup and patrons will be drinking something toxic. I complained about it and asked for a nornal cup. There were some cups drying on a rack by the sink but the operator refused to let me have one. I gave up, took two sips of the coffee, felt some pain on my throat immediately and junked the coffee. 40 baht thrown away for nothing.
There is very poor understanding of food safety here. Eat and drink at this place at your own risk

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The art style and architecture is unique and very beautiful. The price however is pretty high for what you get, if you are a foreigner..
This is why I only rate it three stars.
Don't forget to ask about the audio guide, because they never offer that if you don't ask.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The main building is AMAZING, and the gardens around it are very well kept, but I think the entrance is expensive for what is inside. It is a bit far from the centre area and not much else to fo around, unless you visit the ancient city which is further south, I would maybe plan a quick stop here after the ancient city.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went on Sunday, last minute before it closed so there is no one lol. It's easier and cheaper to book a ticket from online, my friend use Klook. It's 550thb, one package with Ancient City. I advised you to go here first and then Ancient City.
You can go here by taking BTS to Chang Erawan station and walking distance around 10 minutes (650m).
Such an incredible detail and it's so beautiful. The colour, the ornament even the building itself really mesmerized you.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great experience if you want to learn the Buddha story, they claim that Buddha had 550 recarnations until you reach Nirvana. In this museum you will find 10 of Buddha‘s stories that are related to elephants. Each story includes a different name which is believed that Sidhartha (Buddha‘s earthy name) went through its re-Carnations. A tradition says that you should walk under the elephants outside the temple three times for your wishes to become true and for good luck. In the entrance to the museum on the right side there is a great local restaurant serving good noodle soup

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Costs 400 Baht entry or 550 with a combo ticket through Klook which includes Ancient City 11 km down the road. The location basically explains this attraction. A bit out of the way and hard to find if you don't know where it is. It's basically a pretty garden with religious stuff around the site. There is also a huge statue of a multi headed elephant in the middle which can be entered. It's interesting, but probably not worth a first time Bangkok visit. Going to Ancient City makes a full day out. Note that both locations are not that near public transport and having a transport app on your phone is needed sometimes as you might not see a taxi for a while sometimes.
