SANCTUARY OF TRUTH

The Sanctuary of Truth is located in Pattaya. It was started by a business man Khun Lek who wanted to have visitors to Pattaya know that there is much more to this city than bars and the notoriety that people seem to associate it with.  These pictures are about five years old and the project is still being built.




FROM A DISTANCE


THE WORK IS STILL BEING DONE

VIEW FROM A BOAT

THERE ARE NO NAILS USED

THE WOOD IS TREATED WITH ACIDS FOR PRESERVATION

EVERYTHING IS HAND CARVED

YOU FEEL AS YOU ARE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD

ALL DAY LONG AND NO "BLUEPRINTS"

BACK IN MY FAT BELLY DAYS
