A very comfortable full body essential oil massage, but I personally feel that the CP value is not high. You can just pay 150 on the roadside. Just experience it once in a while.

This is a show worth seeing when you come to Pattaya. It's easy to get to and you can buy drinks at the Tiffany Show Bar. It costs 70 baht.

When traveling in Pattaya, it is very convenient to use the Klook pass, which allows me to easily explore many popular attractions. First of all, the wood carving art of the Temple of Truth is amazing, and the architectural details and cultural connotations make me linger. The guided tour included in the pass was also great and gave me a deeper understanding of the history and significance of this temple. In addition, the experience of the floating market is equally wonderful. Taking a boat through the market, tasting local food, and feeling the lively atmosphere allowed me to experience Thailand's unique culture. The pass is relatively cost-effective and covers multiple attractions, eliminating the trouble of purchasing separate tickets. It is highly recommended to travelers planning to go to Pattaya! Overall, Klook's pass made my trip smoother and is worth a try

Visiting the Sanctuary of Truth in Bangkok is an unforgettable experience. Located in Pattaya, not far from Bangkok, this magnificent wood-carved temple was built in 1981 and is still under construction today, showcasing the essence of traditional Thai craftsmanship. I was surprised that the entire temple was built entirely of wood without the use of any nails. After entering the Temple of Truth, the first thing that caught my eye was its spectacular appearance. The exquisite carvings and delicate artistic design made me stop to take pictures. The tour guide service in the temple is very professional. The tour guide introduced the story behind each sculpture in detail, which gave me a deeper understanding of Thai culture and religion. Especially the Buddhist philosophy and cosmology displayed in the temple made me feel a kind of peace of mind. In addition, the environment of the Sanctuary of Truth is also very pleasant, surrounded by green trees and the gentle sea breeze, which makes people feel relaxed. Overall, the Sanctuary of Truth is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place for people to reflect and experience culture. Whether you are a traveler interested in art or a tourist who wants to understand Thai culture, this is a must-visit place. Highly recommended to all friends coming to Bangkok!
