The gardens are open daily, year-round. It can get very hot in the middle of the day so consider going early or late to beat the heat.
Visit the Sanctuary of Truth Temple
For a taste of Thai culture, make time for a visit to the Sanctuary of Truth Temple in Pattaya. Made entirely of wood, the beautiful, intricately carved structure is filled with sculptures depicting both Buddhist and Hindu figures. At almost 350 feet (105 meters) tall, the temple is one of the tallest structures in the area, and is still being built—it should be finished by 2050.
