Sanctuary of Truth
Highlights of this day tour include
Pattaya City in Chonburi Province has many attractions which draw thousands of tourists each year. One of the most notable attractions - The Sanctuary of Truth - is largely ignored by the travelling masses and therefore makes an excellent place to add to your tour list. This remarkable structure, which is the equivalent height of a twenty-story building, has been constructed in traditional Thai style without the use of any nails. Using Thai building methods from a bygone era, the structure is held together by wooden pegs and is ornately carved to show the relationships between human beings and the universe according to Eastern philosophies. On arrival, you'll be introduced to a more leisurely method of transport, as you climb into the pony & trap for your journey down to The Sanctuary of Truth itself. The first glimpse from above is most memorable and whets the appetite for a closer view. Inside the building it's remarkably cool and you'll be amazed by the myriad of intricate carvings which are visible everywhere. The timber used in the construction is suitably aged, having been taken from dismantled buildings throughout the country. In addition to The Sanctuary of Truth itself, there is an excellent Thai Cultural Show which includes Thai dancing, Traditional fighting, Thai boxing and a Dolphin Show. Here you can even swim with the dolphins if you come prepared. You can visit The Sanctuary of Truth in the morning in conjunction with the tour to Nong Nooch Tropical Gardens. This makes an excellent day out and can be done as a day trip from Bangkok or an excursion from your cruise ship docked at Laem Chabang.
