WHAT YOU VISIT
Sanctuary of Truth
Nestled on a quiet beach overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, the Sanctuary of Truth is a museum in the making. Under construction since 1981, it's scheduled to be completed in 2025 due to the meticulous craftsmanship of workers using traditional Thai wooden carving skills. Resembling a temple in Ayutthaya, the intricate and ornate hand-carved wooden sculpture stands over 105 meters high (345 feet), making it the largest wood building in Thailand. An inside tour reveals thousands of wooden carvings that reflect art, culture and the nature of human life such as wood statues of Hindu and Buddhist gods and goddesses and wood carvings that reflect the worldview of wisdom.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
A secret treasure of peace and tranquility, the exterior of the Sanctuary of Truth is a photographer's dream. The Hindu deity Brahma is represented reminding visitors of the four universal virtues – benevolence, compassion, empathetic joy, and equanimity.

LUNCH
A lunch at a local establishment is your chance to kickback and savor genuine Thai cuisine.

SHOPPING
You will have plenty of free time to explore Royal Garden Plaza, a vibrant complex with a wide variety of boutiques, restaurants and souvenir shops, or Central Phuket Festival, the consummate one-stop shopping, non-stop entertainment complex. The local currency is the Thai Baht and is required for most purchases.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Your tour continues with a drive around the sunny oceanside resort city of Pattaya. Depending on your route, you may see the city's beaches, temples and points of interest.
