The Sanctuary of Truth

Is at Laem Ratchawet, Na Kluea Subdistrict, Chonburi Province, Thailand, This huge building is notably constructed entirely out of wood, yes not a metal nail or a screw in its construction, it contains only wood-carved idols and sculptures. Construction first began in 1981 and is still in construction, though visitors are permitted inside with hard hats. Located on 13 hectares of land, the temple houses an internal space of 2,115 m2, with the tallest spire reaching 105 m (344 ft). The sanctuary is permanently under construction, so it is not unusual to see scaffolding and workers, the building is truly huge, it is difficult to comprehend its size, but looking below past the 'gold leaf' tree, if you follow the base where the building meets the sand you will see a construction worker in his yellow site hat.
