Like an Oriental Notre Dame the 100 meter
high Sanctuary of Truth is a wooden castle of wood carvings and
gargoyles that has to make my top list of Pattaya Thailand's ten
wonders. Unlike many of the other treasures of the Pattaya area
it's so quick and easy to get to. All you have to do is get your
head out of your beer, get out of bed before 1 in the afternoon and get
a taxi. Either a baht bus or motorbike taxi will do.
Tell the driver to go to Naklua Soi 12 (Soi Sip Song Naklua) and head
West. Most likely this will be a left turn. Then head toward
the Gulf of Thailand. Less than 2 kilometers down Soi 12 you will
come to an imposing entry gate surrounded by Medieval appearing concrete
walls. Inside you will have to pay 600 baht a person.
For two, that is if you bring a girlfriend along, this is an expensive
outing by Pattaya standards, but when you go inside and pay the entry
fee you will immediately understand why.
