Another great photo oppertunity - The Sanctuary Of Truth - Standing on an outcrop just 3 kilometres from the centre of Pattaya, the Sanctuary of Truth is a truly beautiful and visionary place.
Thanks to the vision of one Thai businessman. This magnificent temple is amazingly made entirely from wood, the Sanctuary of Truth has inspired the revival of traditional Thai building techniques. Every piece that has gone into constructing it is wood. That’s right - even the nails, connectors, everything is wooden. That’s incredible, right?
As you wander the grounds, taking in the experience, you will be impressed with the design and the tranquillity of the Sanctuary. There are four wings to the temple, which take in the inspiration of Thai, Khmer, Chinese and Indian spiritual art.
It is not just the beauty of the woodwork that is impressive about the Sanctuary of Truth, it’s the size. The building is 20 storeys high, and about as wide.
You will not only find inspiration and a sense of peace here - you will also find enjoyment in the activities that the Sanctuary of Truth has on offer for visitors. Highlights include Thai cultural dancing and you can even opt to see the temple from the water with a ride in a speedboat.
There will be no regrets from you or any of your fellow travellers if you choose to visit this beautiful place.

This Should Be Your First Activity in Pattaya - This was a private tour, no other groups on the bus. Pick up was prompt at the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle. Our guide had waters and cold towels for us throughout the day. You can miss out on a lot of Pattaya by staying in the major tourist areas. This tour should be your first adventure and really gives you an overview of the whole city and how to get out of the tourist trap area.
The sites were absolutely amazing, our guide spoke perfect English, and had some incredible insight into Pattaya and the country in general. Because it’s a private tour you can really go at your own pace.
Our guide even offered some suggestions and alternative drop off sites instead of going back to the hotel if you are looking for lunch at the end. The tour really helped me figure out the next couple days that I spent in Pattaya.

Must see, Don't miss! Go Private Tour! - Nothing better than a private tour. Both Tour Guide, Po and Driver (Eg?) did a fantastic job. Po was an excellent guide. At our first stop at the Big Buddha in Pattaya Po took the time to explain the many Buddha Statues, the meaning, how to observe Buddha, lighting incense and candles, and getting a better understanding of the importance of Buddha in the lives of Thai.
Our next stop was the cliff where Pattaya City sign is. We parked at the top of the hill and took the steps down for the photo opp. It was a beautiful clear day so we were not having to battle rain so all our photos came out fantastic.
Next stop was north to the Sanctuary of Truth. By far a most incredible and humbling experience. The Founder developed this structure in recent times (compared to much of the history of Buddha) and is constructed entirely out of wood, no nails, joining all the wood components to make this vast and tall structure. The Sanctuary is visible from any high point in Pattaya as you look north you can see the ornamental top.
The guide during our walk thru in English is employed by the Sanctuary and in 45 minutes we were provided so much information about the carvings, the meanings, the history, the purpose, and relevance to Thai. Most definitely the highlight of my trip to Pattaya.
Po was very caring about my well being. Water, cold cloth, umbrella for shading, and making sure I was ok throughout the entire trip.
I was picked up from my hotel promptly at 9am and returned around 12:30. I highly recommend this tour and if you have the chance, book it privately so you are in your own car. Well worth it!
Thanks again to Po for doing an outstanding job.

Exploring the Sanctuary of Truth - Great excursion! The best part was the visit to the Sanctuary of Truth - an amazing structure with wood carvings and sculptures.
Our guide Por was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. At times, his English was difficult to understand. Overall, we were able to understand him but the experience would be better if we didn't have to ask him to repeat what he just said.

Highly Recommend this Tour!!! - My tour guide was Lexi, and she did an excellent job showing me various spots around Pattaya. She had a lot of knowledge about the different landmarks, had a great sense of humor, and was a safe driver. If you want a fantastic private tour where you get to see the Big Buddha, viewing sights, and Sanctuary of Truth, you should definitely take this tour. Lexi provided me with a refreshing cold towel and water and even took me to King Taskin’s statue on the beach as I was interested in King Taskin, and it was on the way to the Sanctuary of Truth. She also took many high quality photos and gave me time to look around at each spot. Don’t hesitate to book this tour as if you have Lexi you are guaranteed a great time!
