The Sanctuary of Truth or Prasat Mai

Noom, my friend from Bangkok came to Pattaya and convinced me to go and see this marvel located just outside Pattaya. A bit more than most places at $17 admission and a $8.60 taxi each way, it proved well worth it. Looking ancient, the structure was conceived by a wealthy Thai businessman and commenced in 1981. It is scheduled to be completed by 2025. 

It combines Buddhist, Hindu, Khymer and Thai themes. The structure is composed entirely of wood and consists of thousands of carvings.
