Towering castle, intricately hand carved in teak
by JoelWillTravel
Situated on the seashore of Rachvate Cape, Pattaya. The Sanctuary Of Truth is an amazing structure, proudly showing ancient knowledge of Thai artists at present. Believe it or not this structure was only built as late as 1981. The parts emerging from it's foundation are ALL built of wood, to meet the intention of constructing the real "wooden sanctuary". It's a must to visit here when in or around Pattaya as the tour we had around this was truly breathtaking. Please see website for more information on this.
Speed Boat to Coral Island
by bkarjee
We hired this speed boat for taking us to the Coral Island and found it to be very fast mode of transport. It hardly took 30 mts to reach Coral Islands. But the weather was not in our favour and it started raining midway. The shelter within the speedboat was not good enough to take care of all its passengers. We were 4 adults and 2 kids and all of them were soaked blot with water. It was quite bumpy too, because of the rough sea.
SMALL HIDDEN TREASURES
by STRATOS79 about SMALL THAI RESTAURANTS
I have also been impressed by the small Thai restaurants that I have find in Pattaya I have to admit that I have found some small treasures (traditional food at its best) but most of them don’t even have an English menu
Buddha Hill
by mydreamquest
This is another impressive Buddhist statue of the Quan Yin who is an important deity of nuture, health, and fertility.
Even if you're not a believer, light an incense and pay respect to it. You will feel a pleasuring clarity of thought. I feel that way whenever I participate in small, intimate religious rituals such as this.
