The Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya (Location see Pattaya map) is a temple-like building constructed entirely out of wood.

The owner started building this wooden structure in 1981, intending it to be a memorial to peace, tolerance and respect among mankind. The Buddhist-inspired building is so large that even though work on it is not complete yet, its sheer size already boggles the mind.

The building stands 100m high at the center and is equally wide. It is held up by gargantuan columns and boasts chiseled images with painstaking detail all around. The Sanctuary of Truth is so spectacular that one does not deem it inappropriate to compare it to the Taj Mahal.

Authentic Thai cuisine is served outside in the park in which the sanctuary is located. The surrounding greenery made for a great lunch experience. Entry fees are 500 Baht per person, and well worth it.
