The Sanctuary of Truth is an all-wooden structure located in the northern shores of Pattaya City, a little over an hour drive from the capital city of Bangkok, Thailand. This amazing wooden structure reaches over 100 meters on its highest point, purely built on wood over an area covering over 2 rais, equivalent to 3200 square meters.
