   The founder's collection of old ceramics, including Sangkhalok and Benjarong ware, around a central naga.

3. Step 03 Human World floor

   The round hall under the stained-glass world-map ceiling, with stucco work and the four pillars of Jataka tales for four faiths.

4. Step 04 Universe floor, inside the elephant

   By lift or spiral staircase to the shrine with its Sukhothai-style Buddha image under a painted sky of sun, planets and Milky Way.

5. Step 05 The garden and the pilgrimage route

   Mythical creatures in stucco and ceramic, and shrines of the Buddhist and Brahmin-Hindu traditions around the building. Open daily 9 am to 6 pm; ticket sales close at 5 pm.

Know before you go

• Open daily 9 am to 6 pm; ticket sales close at 5 pm (erawanmuseum.com, checked 24 Sep 2026).
• The top floor is inside the elephant. The museum's page names a lift in the elephant's left hind leg and a spiral staircase in the right; ask your captain about step-free access to the lower floors for anyone in a wheelchair.
• This is a place of worship as well as a museum. Dress modestly, with shoulders and knees covered, and follow the staff on shoes and photography near the shrines.
• The private-transfer option is priced on the operator's list without saying whether the rate is per person or for the vehicle. Your captain confirms the basis before you pay; the page shows it per person until the operator answers.
• The Ancient City, by the same founder, is also in Samut Prakan; the operator sells a combined ticket for the two, which your captain can quote instead.
• Child rates: the museum lists a child price at its gate; the operator's child price and age band are confirmed by your captain.
• Availability is confirmed by the operator when your captain books; a booking can be declined by the supplier for a price change, allocation or stop-sale.
• Prices are in INR. GST + TCS on international bookings are shown in your written quote.
