The Sanctuary of Truth is a magnificent temple in Pattaya, Thailand, that stands as a tribute to traditional Thai architecture and craftsmanship. The temple is entirely made of wood, with intricate carvings depicting various Hindu and Buddhist deities, as well as ancient Thai mythological figures. The construction of the Sanctuary of Truth began in 1981 and is still ongoing. The temple covers an area of over two hectares and is over 100 meters tall. It was designed by a local businessman named Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is not affiliated with any specific religion, but rather serves as a symbol of the unity of all religions and beliefs. It is a peaceful and tranquil place where visitors can reflect and appreciate the beauty of Thai culture and tradition. The Sanctuary of Truth also serves as a cultural and educational center. It hosts various workshops and events throughout the year, aimed at promoting traditional Thai arts and crafts.

The Sanctuary of Truth is located in Pattaya, a popular coastal city in Thailand's Chonburi Province. It is located at the northern tip of the Long Beach area of Pattaya, on the Gulf of Thailand coastline. The temple is 100m high and entirely made of wood, with intricate carvings. There is no set date for when construction of the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya will be completed as the project is in constant development and expansion. Work on the temple began in 1981 and has continued to date, with the aim of making the temple as authentic and detailed as possible. The goal of the builders is to hand down the temple to the next generation so that it can be continued and maintained as a cultural heritage and as a symbol of Thai traditional values and history.

The Sanctuary of Truth is een prachtige tempel in Pattaya, Thailand, die een eerbetoon is aan de traditionele Thaise architectuur en vakmanschap. De tempel is volledig gemaakt van hout, met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk dat verschillende hindoeïstische en boeddhistische godheden uitbeeldt, evenals oude Thaise mythologische figuren. De bouw van het Sanctuary of Truth begon in 1981 en is nog steeds aan de gang. De tempel heeft een oppervlakte van ruim twee hectare en is meer dan 100 meter hoog. Het is ontworpen door een lokale zakenman genaamd Lek Viriyaphant. The Sanctuary of Truth is niet gelieerd aan een specifieke religie, maar dient eerder als een symbool van de eenheid van alle religies en overtuigingen. Het is een vredige en rustige plek waar bezoekers de schoonheid van de Thaise cultuur en traditie kunnen overdenken en waarderen. The Sanctuary of Truth doet ook dienst als cultureel en educatief centrum. Het organiseert het hele jaar door verschillende workshops en evenementen, gericht op het promoten van traditionele Thaise kunsten en ambachten. Er is geen vastgestelde datum voor wanneer de bouw van de Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya zal worden voltooid, omdat het project voortdurend in ontwikkeling is en wordt uitgebreid met als doel om de tempel zo authentiek en gedetailleerd mogelijk te maken. Het doel van de bouwers is om de tempel over te dragen aan de volgende generatie, zodat deze kan worden voortgezet en onderhouden als een cultureel erfgoed en als een symbool van de Thaise traditionele waarden en geschiedenis.
