Royal Elephant Museum

White Elephant Museum
The White Elephant muesum near Vimanmek Mansion

At the eastern-most extreme of the Dusit Palace grounds, facing the Abhisek Dusit Throne Hall, are two small buildings that used to be the stables for the royal elephants. The elephants have mostly been relocated to a northern refuge where they can live a more natural existence. The former stables are now a museum displaying paraphernalia and other articles related to the royal elephants. Included are photographs of the "investiture" ceremonies for royal elephants.
