The Sanctuary of Truth

The Sanctuary of truth is an unfinished museum and one of the most popular tourist attractions in Pattaya. Standing tall at 105 meters to the north of Wongamat Beach, The Sanctuary of Truth or Satchatham Temple is an iconic structure of Pattaya. Crafted entirely out of teak wood adorning intricate designs and carvings, the place is more like a fusion of a temple and a palace.

The temple represents the soul and spirit of Eastern civilization and art through its impressive architectural work ornamented with sculptures of Hindu and Buddhist Gods and other mythological figurines. Built-in traditional style, the temple of truth exhibits peace and serenity and has been honoured with the award of Outstanding Tourist Attraction by the Tourism Industry Awards in 2008.
