The Sanctuary of Truth, Pattaya, Chonburi Thailand

Rising 105 metres into the sky and exquisitely carved entirely out of teak wood, The Sanctuary of Truth is a gigantic woodenconstruction that's one of a kind in the world. A strange fusion of religion, philosophy, art and culture, it's neither a temple, nor palace 'even though it looks a bit like a hybrid of both. Best described as a monument to Thai craftsmanship, and a place to reflect, its awe-inspiring wooden sculptures and cravings pays homage to and is a reflection of the “Ancient Vision of Earth', “Ancient Knowledge'and “Eastern Philosophy'.

The whole place is entirely had crafted out of wood. It has four gopuras, respectively depicting images from the Buddhist and Hindu religions and mythologies of Cambodia, China, India and Thailand.

The museum is located by the sea at Laem Ratchawet on Na Klua Road in North Pattaya. With delicate architectural features, the sanctuary was built from the vision that human civilization has been accomplished and nurtured by religious and philosophical truth.
