The work that has gone on here and continues at the factory is wonderful. The carvings and building are out of this world. Needed longer here. The guides are brilliant and so knowledgable. A must visit

It's is a very unusual temple but the construction is not complete and some areas need repairing already. Some repair has been done already but in a very quick and ugly way, using nails which contrast with the rest of the work.The craftsmen seem to be only working when a group of tourists is coming.... Quite expensive for a temple... More

Simply amazing. This place transports you into another reality. Plan on a 1/2 day trip to make it worth your while and take in all the entertainment.

Its pretty good to see from a distance but its no better up close and you save yourself 500 bart. Its fairly pricey considering other attractions in Thailand. The day I went it was still under construction so I needed to wear a hard hat to walk through. As soon as you get in they are driving for more money... More

Although this is another temple in Asia -- its still a work in progress and quite a site to see -- especially if you are interested in architecture -- everything is carved out of wood and you have to wear a hard hat since they are still working in/on it. Besides the temple they have shows as well and if... More

We went to the Sanctuary of Truth one afternoon and caught the baht bus to the end of Pattaya beach and walked the rest of the way which was about 45minutes. It costs 500 baht to get in just to see the Sanctuary. There are other activities like elephant rides but all at extra cost. We walked down to the... More

The place is nice but it is not completed. One time visit is OK. The views are great. It is about 15 minute drive from Pattaya.

What a breath of fresh air. Really enjoyed just wandering around and gawking at the architecture. I'm not sure how long they have been working on it, but a couple hundred of years or more (400 maybe?). Anyway, it's a cool thing to see for about 45 minutes - 1 hour, and a nice breath of fresh air from all... More

I am trying not to be too negative so I gave this two stars instead of one. I might change that later. Look on Wikipedia. This place was specifically built as a business venture, which is just fine, but let's not confuse this with a religious shrine. The "theme" presented is quite nebulous. I drove up in my scooter and... More
