Sanctuary of Truth

Uncommon card · No. 137806

The Sanctuary of Truth (Thai: ปราสาทสัจธรรม) is an unfinished museum in Pattaya, Thailand designed by Thai businessman Lek Viriyaphan. The museum structure is a hybrid of a temple and a castle that is themed on the Ayutthaya Kingdom and Hindu and Buddhist beliefs. The building is notably constructed entirely out of wood, specifically Mai Deang, Mai Takien, Mai Panchaat, and Teak. It contains only wood-carved idols and sculptures. Construction first began in 1981 and is still under ongoing, though visitors are permitted inside with hard hats. Located on 13 hectares of land, the museum houses an internal space of 2,115 m2, with the tallest spire reaching 105 m (344 ft).
