Thailand Three-Headed Elephant

Chang Erawan Museum in Samut Prakan Province

The Three Headed Elephant is 29 metres high and 39 metres long. Ad an other 14.6 meters if you want to count the building that it is standing on. The elephant weight is around 250 tons. You can not miss seeing this from Sukhumwit Road on you way to Samut Prakan from Bangkok.

Construction started in 1994 and the finishing work still goes on today. This was built by a very successful Mercedes Benz dealership owner named Khun Lek Viriyapant. He wanted to preserve his collection of antiques as a contribution to Thai culture heritage. Many pieces of his collection are priceless objects of art. Most of these are in the basement and you are not allowed to take pictures of these.

You can see the size of this elephant. See
