Sanctuary of Truth

Neither a temple nor a sanctuary either, this unique building made of teak symbolizes the synthesis of religion, philosophy, art and culture in Pattaya. Original and extravagant, the Sanctuary of Truth harmonizes several architectural styles: Burmese, Cambodian, Indian and Thai. Situated only a few minutes from Pattaya’s Soi 12 district on Naklua Road, the Sanctuary of Truth remains a private project initiated by Lek Viriyaphant, an eccentric Thai millionaire. Visiting this unique local "temple" is a local cultural landmark worth visiting.
