📍 Location: Rachvate Cape, North Pattaya
🕗 Rounds: Morning or Afternoon
🎫 Tour Type: Ticket Only or with Private Transfer
🪵 Highlight: 100m-Tall All-Wood Temple

The Sanctuary of Truth, or Prasat Satchatham Temple, is a wooden temple located by the sea. It was designed by Lek Wiriyapan, the founder of the Ancient City in Samut Prakan province, in 1981. The temple is entirely built with wood — its beauty elaborated through wood dwellings and woodcarvings. It is considered an exotic and imposing architectural work of art of the century, embellished with artwork and woodcarvings that reflect the intellect and spirit of Eastern civilization and art, and the importance of religion in upholding the world. The temple received the Outstanding Tourist Attraction award from the Tourism Industry Awards in 2008.

The Sanctuary of Truth is completely made from wood, and all the delicate carvings are done by hand — a huge number of woodcarvers are at work here every day, carving out the various figures.

The huge building is more than 100 meters high. Also called Prasat Satchatham or Prasat Sut Ja-Tum, it is not in use as a temple — it is built on an area of almost one acre on Rachvate Cape overlooking the sea in North Pattaya.
