I bought the ticket on klook on the day of departure. When I arrived at the entrance of the Ganesha Museum, I exchanged the physical ticket at the ticket exchange window on the right. The process was simple and quick, and it was about 60% off the on-site ticket. 👍👍👍Use klook~

Erawan Museum was such a beautiful and unique place to explore. The giant three-headed elephant statue outside is impressive, and inside is just as amazing. Every corner was seriously Instagrammable — from the colorful stained-glass ceiling to the grand staircase and the peaceful garden outside. totally worth a visit!

Ancient city was the best attraction to visit. I take a time to ride a bike and it was a big area with many temples and I didn’t expect to see an elephant. Erawan has amazing details inside. You should not miss this tour when you visit Thailand!

There are traditional Thai boats, a park full of water, big trees, a magical Indian elephant temple, a huge local floating market, a coffee shop with a lot of atmosphere, delicious mango sticky rice, and a great tour guide. It is a small group trip and unforgettable.

Compared with the original ticket prices of various attractions, this package is very worthwhile. Both attractions are worth visiting. The ancient city of Siam is very large and you can spend most of the day visiting. It is recommended to rent a golf cart/bicycle/motorcycle in the city, which will make the trip much faster.
