Small temple combined with a viewpoint over looking the town and sea. The entrance is down a very small road off sukhumvit road, when you are in the area you will see a Burger King at a gas station, this is where you need to turn off. Up the hill there are plenty of monkeys so if walking keep your valuables safe!! Parking for quite a few cars is available, nothing undercover so your cars interior may get a little warm during your visit. Inside you have the pray areas, buddha shrine which stands over 40ft tall, a phayana dragon guarded entrance to the view point and the crystal ball that gives an inverted view of the scenery. We went yesterday and there are some maintenance going on the steps to the viewpoint, view point still accessible tho. Overall the whole of the complex is very clean and well maintained. Not a major attraction so quite quiet and very beautiful! If your in the area have a look!!

Our ship docked in Leam Chabang we were met by so many taxis which you have to pay for up front, they wanted £150 to take us to ‘ The Sanctuary of Truth’ 40 minutes away! We eventually found “Goe” the most lovely taxi driver ever,, his charges were £80 he was worth a very good tip because he kept us safe and escorted us everywhere, he kept us in the shade and got our tickets to go in, on the way back to the ship he asked us if we would like to see the floating market, again he kept us safe.we had a perfect day with him, the floating market was a wonderful experience. The next day we asked him to take us to the Botanical gardens, you need to book the taxi for 8.30 to catch the wonderful shows at the Botanical Gardens, “Goe” got our entrance tickets and walked us through to the wonderful dancing show and then on to the elephant show, he stayed with us we would never have found it, he then left us for 2 hours to wander the gardens, he advised it was best to go in the shade on the sky walk ..good advice. His English is perfect and although he looks about 20 he’s in his 40s this Taxi driver you will love as we did, you will feel safe and looked after, he’s happy and bubbly and comfortable to be with, he said my job is to make sure you enjoy your day. He will also take you to Bangkok but we went there last year and found it such a long drive and so crowded. Don’t miss Sanctuary of truth it’s amazing.
