The Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya, Thailand, is a remarkable structure built using ancient wood carving techniques. Commissioned by a Thai millionaire in 1981, it remains under construction. The building, standing 375 feet tall, features four wings dedicated to Thai, Cambodian, Chinese, and Indian iconography. A team of 250 wood carvers has crafted intricate religious and philosophical images throughout. The Sanctuary serves as an art installation, religious shrine, and cultural monument. Although the creator has passed, the project continues according to his vision.
