  Breathtaking experience. Sanctuary of truth is definitely unique and a must see if you are traveling to Thailand. It was amazing seeing the 'workers' sculpting wood with so much passion and patience. Our guide's name was 'King kong'. He was punctual, nice, and very friendly. He gave us great tips and was an excellent guide/ personal driver. The car was really nice, clean and comfortable. Thank you King Kong for this lovely day around Pattaya and for taking us to sightseeing and for all your great tips. I highly recommend this trip.
