Royal Museum (Istana Negara)

Rachel gets her first peek at the ostentation of Singapore’s high society at Peik Lin Goh’s (her college friend, played by Awkwafina) home. The gold-embellished mansion is actually The Royal Museum, the former residence of the King and Queen of Malaysia! It was only opened to the public in 2013 after serving the monarchy for over 80 years. Tour the Palladian-style palace’s 22 royal spaces (including the sovereign’s private sleeping chambers) and imagine the regality that used to thrive in the halls.

A three-headed elephant shaped pink museum? It's not something out of a fairy tale, it truly exists! This amazing museum houses priceless artworks collected by its owner and creator, situated only 1 hour's drive away from Bangkok. The massive three headed elephant made of bronze and weighs 250 tons! Meanwhile the inside of the museum is modeled after the Hindu representation of the universe, which consists of the underworld, earth and Heaven. (All photos: Self-taken.)

I need to put this on the Bangkok list. I read it a well worth a visit to see such a vast ancient collection of extraordinary pieces of art, historical Buddhist statues and traditional paintings of cloth, wood, paper, and porcelain from China from the 16th and 17th centuries.
