The Legend of the Erawan Elephant

Knowing the myth of the Erawan elephant before visiting the museum will make your visit even more special. According to folklore, Erawan is a young god living in the realm of heaven. When Indra, one of the gods, wants to travel, the young god becomes a white elephant named Erawan, so Thais believe that elephants are magical creatures that serve the gods. 

Museum Structure

The Erawan Museum is divided into three floors. According to ideas from the Book of Bumita, the first floor of the museum represents Suwannaphum, the underworld, the second floor is the land of humans, and the third floor is described as heaven inside the elephant's body.
