Very nice activity to do. This sanctuary is truly amazing. 100% wood. The work of a goldsmith. A small area with farmyard animals, some of them free-ranging. You can even feed them, much to the delight of children. For the ladies, if you're in shorts or a tank top, you can borrow a sarong to cover up. Thai restaurant on site near the entrance and on the sanctuary level, only fried food is available.

The sanctuary was amazing. Very lucky we had the time to go visit, it was a wonderful experience. Great guide! Been to a lot of places in the world and this is one not to be missed. Ticket process was easy and we sent over several other friends from our group, they too were amazed!

Buying tickets was hassle-free, everything went quickly. The sanctuary was beautiful, it was a truly powerful experience.

The Sanctuary of Truth is the largest wooden castle on Earth! Explore it day or night alongside a knowledgeable guide who speaks your language.

There's so much to see and do - watch wood carving, ride elephants or carriages, take in views from multiple spots, and check out cool exhibits.

You can also feed animals at the mini zoo, shop for unique souvenirs, grab a tasty bite, unwind with a massage, and just soak in the peaceful vibes.

Immerse yourself in universal philosophies and wisdom from Thai, Chinese, Khmer and Indian traditions. Who knows, you may even discover life's meaning!

Get this - they've been building the castle for 43 years using only wood (no nails!), and there's no artificial light. How awesome is that?
