Travelers usually visit the Sanctuary of Truth from Pattaya itself, though some travel from farther-flung locales such as Bangkok, and the complex is a common stop on Pattaya tours. Many opt to visit on a cultural tour that includes attractions such as Pattaya Floating Market, Big Buddha Temple, and Buddha Mountain.
An entire tourist ecosystem has sprung up around the Sanctuary of Truth. In addition to watching twice-daily cultural performances, you can feed elephants, ride horses, take horse-and-carriage rides, enjoy an all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) trail, and eat at the on-site restaurant. It’s well worth joining one of the half-hourly Sanctuary of Truth tours to learn about the four different religious traditions reflected in the building.
