(Khlong Bang Luang, Thonburi; 10am-6pm; Wongwian Yai exit 2 & taxi)

Sort of a gallery, kind
of a coffee shop, more a cultural centre… It's hard to pin down this old wooden house on
Khlong Bang Luang. There's food available on weekends, as well as a free traditional
Thai puppet show scheduled for 2pm, but the best excuse to come is simply to soak up the
old-world canalside vibe.
Artist's House is most easily accessible via Soi 3, Th Charansanitwong; cross the canal
at the bridge by the 7-Eleven, turn left and it's about 100m down.

ERAWAN MUSEUM (CHANG SAM SIAN)

; Soi 119, Th Sukhumvit; adult/child 400/200B; 8am-5pm)
Located on the way
to Ancient City and created by the same visionary, this museum is actually a five-storey
sculpture of Erawan, Indra's three-headed elephant mount from Hindu mythology. The in-
terior is filled with antique sculptures but is most impressive for the stained-glass ceiling.
The museum is 8km from Bangkok's Ekamai bus station. Any Samut Prakan-bound
bus can drop you off; just tell the driver.
