Standing on an outcrop just 3 kilometres from the centre of Pattaya, the Sanctuary of Truth is a truly beautiful and visionary place. Thanks to the vision of one Thai businessman. This magnificent temple is amazingly made entirely from wood, the Sanctuary of Truth has inspired the revival of traditional Thai building techniques. Every piece that has gone into constructing it is wood. That’s right – even the nails, connectors, everything is wooden. That’s incredible, right? As you wander the grounds, taking in the experience, you will be impressed with the design and the tranquillity of the Sanctuary. There are four wings to the temple, which take in the inspiration of Thai, Khmer, Chinese and Indian spiritual art. It is not just the beauty of the woodwork that is impressive about the Sanctuary of Truth, it’s the size. The building is 20 storeys high, and about as wide. You will not only find inspiration and a sense of peace here – you will also find enjoyment in the activities that the Sanctuary of Truth has on offer for visitors. Highlights include Thai cultural dancing and you can even opt to see the temple from the water with a ride in a speedboat. There will be no regrets from you or any of your fellow travellers if you choose to visit this beautiful place.
