The Sanctuary of Truth

Recommended Posts

The Sanctuary of Truth is located at the Naklua end of Pattaya.  It is entirely privately funded and receives no money from the Government/Local Authority.  Admission is 500 baht for everyone (Thai and Non Thai).  There is one free day per year, however I understand that the place is packed that day.  The Sanctuary is made of re claimed wood and all the pieces are joined together and not nailed or screwed.

It is continually being developed and work is always ongoing.

Some great pics there, thanks. 

Haven't been there for a few years. I wonder if they still do the music, dancing and fighting demonstrations in the restaurant at certain times. On my last visit I ended up on stage doing the sword fighting.

Yes they do,

Nice pics, though wouldn't go there due to the elephant ride with metal 'saddle' cruelty. :(

I went on an elephant ride when I was younger and more ignorant. Now I wouldn't go near anywhere that has any sort of 'animal show'. Especially when the Thais can be so cruel to the animals. Have you seen how they break an elephants spirit? Would break your heart.

Sadly, yes. Though could only watch it for a very short while, and wife was in tears. It's mostly Khmer mahoots these days.

Those metal 'saddle' things do a lot of damage as well, to the spine, and creates many wounds and sores underneath it.

Don't want to spoil the thread, some cracking pics, but the more people get educated to what actually goes on, vote with their feet, the more the cruelty stops and elephant sanctuaries open.
