Sanctuary of Truth (Prasat Sut Ja-Tum) is a beautiful compound located by the sea at Laem Ratchawet on Na Klua Road, North Pattaya. The well known compound of Sanctuary of Truth (Prasat Sut Ja-Tum) covers an area of more than two Rais, and is dramatically set on a rocky point of the coast. Within the compound of Sanctuary of Truth there lies an enormous temple-like structure that is entirely made of wood. This structure is about 105 metres high. It is believed that the gigantic structure was established to resist the incoming of the ghastly wind and sunshine on the seashore. This structure was believed to be the creation of an unconventional billionaire and is intended to exemplify the four major philosophical and artistic influences that can be seen in Thailand.

Sanctuary of Truth is a leading landmark in Thailand and is a major tourist attraction in Pattaya. With lovely architectural features, the sanctuary was envisaged out of the vision that human civilization has been achieving and nurtured by religious and philosophical truths.

Begun in 1981 and scheduled to be complete in 2025, the project was the brainchild of an eccentric Thai millionaire (known as Khun Lek ) and patron of culture responsible for the construction of Ancient City and Erawan Museum. A team of 250 woodcarvers are at work on the sanctuary at any given time.
It is in the style of the ancient Khmer architecture such as that at Angkor and entirely covered in hand-carved wooden sculpture. It has four gopura, respectively representing images from the Buddhist and Hindu religions and mythologies of Cambodia, China, India and Thailand. Its purpose is to use art and culture as “a reflection of the Ancient Vision of Earth, Ancient Knowledge, and Eastern Philosophy. Within this complex, visitors will understand Ancient Life, Human Responsibility, Basic Thought, Cycle of living, Life Relationship with Universe and Common Goal of Life toward Utopia”.
