Four Headed Elephant Statue

Between the famous Grand Palace and my not so grand hotel on Khaosan Road I came across this four headed elephant statue. It stands on the Phan Pl Pop Junction, in the city centre of Bangkok. The elephant is an important animal in South East Asia, as well is in the Hindu and Buddhist religions. This ornate statue didn’t have any sign or information around it but is obviously carved from marble and is used by locals and tourists as a landmark on the junction.
