Sanctuary of Truth, Pattaya, Thailand [2025]

It was my second visit to this icon of Pattaya, the Sanctuary of Truth. The first visit was in 2016. During the period of nine years, there are visible changes to the main building's exterior sculptures. Some main sculptures have been replaced with new ones, especially at the back of main building.  However, minor charges to the interior structure and decoration is observed. 

Sanctuary of Truth is yet another must-visit destination in Pattaya, Thailand. The building is a realization of human being dream. A total wood construction of very unique and unimaginable piece of art located just next to the beach. It can be reached approximately 20 minutes from Central Pattaya by taxi or car.
