To some, the very Sanctuary of Truth is an exceptional work of entirely wood architecture in Pattaya, Thailand. The construction is out of various types of hand-carved woods to express the joining of traditional Thai architecture and intricate craftsmanship. Life and human relationships are some of the concepts represented in the design of the structure and their relationship to the universe. Wandering within those hallways would bring someone face to face with intricate carvings telling the tales of different peoples and beliefs throughout Asia. This tranquil setting, situated next to the sea, provides a serene space for contemplation right in the very heart of Pattaya. A visit to The Sanctuary of Truth is for appreciating the exquisite woodcraft while also perceiving some aspect of Thai culture and philosophy.
