The Sanctuary of truth
A masterpiece of Thai craftsmanship, the Sanctuary of Truth is a stunning all-wood temple set against the Gulf of Thailand. Constructed entirely without nails, this architectural wonder stands over 100 meters tall and is adorned with intricate hand-carved sculptures that reflect Eastern philosophy, mythology, and religious themes. Every inch of this monumental structure tells a story—from ancient deities to cosmic balance—designed to inspire reflection and admiration. The sanctuary serves not only as a temple but also as a cultural monument that blends art, spirituality, and traditional Thai beliefs. It’s a place where you can walk through wooden halls echoing with the sound of chisels, witness live carving demonstrations, and appreciate the dedication behind decades of craftsmanship. Whether you're drawn by its architectural grandeur or its spiritual ambiance, the Sanctuary of Truth offers an unforgettable experience that connects visitors with Thailand’s rich cultural and artistic heritage.
Pattaya Viewpoint
Located atop Pratumnak Hill, Pattaya Viewpoint is the city’s most popular panoramic lookout. From this elevated perch, visitors are treated to a breathtaking 180-degree view of Pattaya Bay, stretching from the bustling Walking Street to the calm northern shores. It’s the perfect spot to snap postcard-worthy photos—especially at sunrise or sunset when the sky bathes the coastline in rich golden hues. The viewpoint is also home to the iconic "PATTAYA City" sign, a favorite backdrop for selfies. Nearby, you’ll find a small temple and shaded rest areas ideal for taking in the sea breeze. Whether you're capturing cityscape shots or simply enjoying the peaceful scenery, the viewpoint offers a quiet escape from the busy streets below. It's an ideal stop to appreciate Pattaya’s unique blend of city life and coastal beauty—all from above.
Big Buddha Temple (Wat Khao Phra Yai)
Perched on a hill between South Pattaya and Jomtien Beach, Wat Khao Phra Yai—also known as Big Buddha Temple—is home to Pattaya’s largest Buddha image, standing 18 meters tall. The temple’s peaceful surroundings and sweeping views of the coastline make it a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. A staircase flanked by golden Naga serpents leads you to the summit, where the majestic Buddha sits in calm meditation. Smaller Buddha statues representing the days of the week surround the main figure, allowing visitors to pay respects according to their birth day. It’s a culturally rich site that offers insight into Thai Buddhist practices and local spirituality. Monks often perform blessings here, and the atmosphere is serene and welcoming. Whether you're visiting for reflection, photography, or learning, Wat Khao Phra Yai provides a deeply peaceful pause in your Pattaya adventure.
Pattaya Floating Market
Step into a world of Thai tradition and local charm at Pattaya Floating Market, where wooden walkways and long-tail boats offer a glimpse into the country’s rich culture. Spread across four zones representing Thailand’s North, Central, Northeast, and South regions, the market features regional food, crafts, and performances. You can sample authentic Thai dishes from floating vendors, shop for handmade souvenirs, or even ride a boat through the canal-style market lanes. Traditional music and cultural shows often entertain guests along the wooden decks, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. It’s a great place to explore with family or friends, offering something for everyone—whether you're hunting for gifts, tasting new flavors, or soaking in the visual charm. The floating market is both a fun outing and a cultural immersion, showcasing Thailand’s heritage in a lively and colorful setting.
