Amazing place built mostly by hand before your very eyes. Contains universal truths depicted throughout. - Amazing place started in 1981 and scheduled to 2050. Being built mostly by hand, you can watch the workers in the open workshops or on site. It depicts universal truths from mostly Asian influences like philosophers such as Confucious and Lao-Tzu and religions mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism and others.
You have to wear a hard hat because it is a construction site:) But many humans on tour followed their universal truth of "I do what I want". Yang was our tour guide and she did a very good job of trying to keep the group together and engaged by asking questions to the group.
I was very impressed by the ornate carvings covering every square inch of the walls. The tour was about an hour long and you can stay longer and walk around on your own which is great as their are a lot of photo opps. I would have uploaded photos but internet connection in my hotel not good.

You can visit. Not a must. - It must be made clear that it is not a temple complex.
As I rented a motorbike, I went there alone without a tourist guide.
I was able to get an entrance ticket without any problems and without having to queue.
It is a beautiful place with wonderful carvings.
As you can certainly see, this complex is beautifully situated by the sea.
You can also have a drink and a little something to eat, you are under the trees.
They also have a few elephants that you can ride.
If you are in Pattaya, you can visit this complex, but for me it is not a must.

Paid Twice to Enter - I arrived at the Sanctuary of Truth and it was amazing! Be careful about paying online because they didn't get the payment and I paid twice.

Don’t use trip advisor to pay in advance. - I paid for tickets a day in advance and got there and they said I had to call or wait 1 hrs for them to get the money. Waste of time. Should have just stood in line for tickets. Also the “English” tour, everyone including myself lost interest because the guides English was so hard to understand.
