About Sanctuary of Truth
This is a hybrid of temple and castle, built entirely of wood and filled with wood carvings. Lek Viriyaphan, who also created the Ancient City in Samut Prakan, designed it around the Ayutthaya Kingdom and Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. Work began in 1981 and is still going, so visitors go inside in hard hats. It stands on 13 hectares in Pattaya, and the tallest spire reaches 105 meters.
