Sanctuary of Truth
By Linda Tancs
A highlight of any trip to Pattaya, Thailand, The Sanctuary of Truth is a museum designed by Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphan. Part museum and part castle, the imposing structure billed as the largest wooden castle in the world is made entirely of wood without a single metal nail in a process that continues since 1981. Encompassing over 2,000 square meters, its tallest spire is over 340 feet and its enormous wood carvings represent deities. Buy advance tickets and dress appropriately; sarongs are available for rental at the entrance. Due to the ongoing construction, a safety helmet is required to be worn.
