If you are a beach-lover, visit some near-by islets, such as Koh Larn (Coral Island) and Koh Chang, where the sea will be better than Pattaya Beach.
The Sanctuary of truth is made of pure mahogany and teak wood, and is an expression of the relationship between man and the universe and the exquisite wood carving techniques of Thailand. The design style is based on traditional Asian art styles and the flamboyant style of the Bangkok dynasty of Thailand.
The construction of The Sanctuary of truth began in 1981 by PrapayViriyapan, a wealthy Thai-Chinese man, and continues today. Although it is currently 80% completed, the interior is still under construction, so visitors must wear a workman's hat to enter.
It is said that the Sanctuary of truth has an open-ended completion date, and everything will be built until it is satisfied. However, PrapayViriyapan passed away before it was completed, and now his son continues to fulfill his wish.

Pattaya has become synonymous with "beach vacation paradise". Pattaya Beach is known as the Oriental Hawaii, which is located in the 15-kilometer coastline of Pattaya in a section of fine sand and clear water, about 3 kilometers long. It has a gentle slope and brilliant sunshine, and is an excellent beachfront bathing area.
The northern part of the beach is quieter and has many beautiful beach hotels and resorts for vacationers who want to enjoy their holidays in peace and quiet. The southern part of the beach, on the other hand, is filled with numerous small hotels, restaurants, clothing stores, bars and other various establishments for young people who like to have a lively time.
Because Pattaya itself is a city built along the coast, the beach is just a few steps away from many of the hotels around the beach.
In addition, not far from the beach there is a shopping mall called Central Festival, which has everything you need to eat, drink and play. If you have enough time, you can also visit the nearby Believe It or Not Museum.
