On the coast of Pattaya rises a structure that endures time, yet lives in every single moment: the Sanctuary of Truth. Carved from centuries-old teakwood, without metal, without haste, it is neither temple nor palace—and yet it is both. It is a breath, a movement, a mirror of eternity.
This book is a journey through wood, light, and spirit. It tells of the dreams of a man, Lek Viriyaphant, of the hands of the craftsmen who, with patience and devotion, create forms that are more than figures—they are thoughts, questions, truths. Of gods who smile, of the wind that sweeps through the halls, of the sea that kisses the foundations, and of the silence that is full of music.
Here, one encounters truth not as a word, but as a form. It reveals itself in every tower, every shadow, in every play of light. It is unfinished, like life itself, yet perfect in its constant transformation.
Whoever reads this book enters a sanctuary that transcends space and time. It is an invitation to hear one’s own silence, to feel one’s own thoughts, and to recognize eternity in the present moment.
The Sanctuary of Truth teaches us: beauty, wisdom, and truth are not possessions. They are paths, movements, breaths—they are always already there, waiting to be discovered if we are still enough to listen.
Welcome to a place where wood becomes poetry, light becomes prayer, and every heart that enters becomes part of the eternal story.
