There is a mix of Buddhist , Chinese and hindu influence . IN this can see Chinese statues in a Hindu scenerio.

This is still under constructions and will take another 20 years . Its a wooden structure thats worth a visit.

The Sanctuary of truth was started in 1980 by a wealthy Thai businessman who has since passed and his children carry on with the work. Built completely of carved wood it really is an amazing sight and well worth the admission price of 500 baht.
