Lion yeah wow you guys are so talented what’s up everybody welcome back to another beautiful day here in Thailand now today I’m I’m actually talking to you guys from pataya a city that is located about 2 hours south of Bangkok on a good day without traffic and one of my favorite
Places in the country now right now I’m actually standing right outside the terminal 21 Mall here in pataya and let me just tell you guys this place is incredible they have an amazing food court um great place to hide from the rain it was actually raining about an hour ago but very light
Drizzle however right now the rainy season in Thailand has really gotten the best of us it’s been pouring pretty much every single day since we’ve arrived um so it is what it is we’re still trying to make the most out of it and today we’re actually going to head off to check
Out the sanctuary of Truth which is a temple SL Museum that has been currently um being built for over 40 years now I believe construction started in 1981 it is still not complete but even after
The many times that I visited pataya I have still never made it there so that’s the goal for today glattus is with me hello h hello and so is Andrew what’s up guys are you guys excited to go and see
The sanctuary of truth that’s amazing I want to go now you actually saw it what 3 months ago when we were here yes and I love it it’s very it’s stunning it’s stunning and she’s been telling
Me ever since we left um to be to be completely honest with you guys she had went about 4 days prior to us leaving pataya that last trip and the entire week she kept telling me Chris you have to
Go you have to go you have to go today so today four or 3 months later we’re finally making that happen all right let’s cross on over and check what the price of a moto taxi is to get on down
That way obviously we can take the bot bus or even a grab and it’s still going to be cheaper but part of the adventure is getting to the destination so let’s see what prices we can get down there
For CRA uh sanctuary of truth how much one one uh three three three bikes 100 100 100 yeah three bik three bik okay um let me check the grab okay grab says 81 for the whole car I think that is too expensive okay you do 80 80 80 80 80 by 80
B look here standard here oh it’s a standard yeah yes okay let’s do it let’s do it let’s do it all three of us cool cool cool okay awesome to be fair Moto taxi is always more expensive
All right down here down here are the bikes all right from the traffic exactly It Gets You Through the traffic gets you to locations fast let’s see if we can actually get on down there oh excuse me first things first um first can I pay excuse me can I pay 1,000 all three
I don’t have change 1,000 for all three I got to make sure we get this out the way first cuz sometimes it’s hard to get change oh yeah this man’s balling we’re good K crap all right oh
The lady’s going that way all right see you guys there all right time to moto taxi through Paya k c so yeah the sanctuary of Truth definitely one of the best or most popular tourist attractions here in the city but usually when I come to pataya we’re here to work
So I never really have time to make it on down there pataya is the city that I choose to come to when I just got a lot of work to do on the computer and every once in a while
I’ll film a few videos here in the city but uh never too many however this time around this next week and a half that we have here In Paya I plan on filming so much for you
Guys to show you you know a lot more that I haven’t covered in Pre in previous videos and of course plenty of nightlife videos on the way because I know how much you guys love those so yeah these streets are super beautiful and it doesn’t matter which part of Paya you’re
In there’s always so much going on here you find a lot of massage par parlors a lot of good food restaurants and a lot of like real bougie restaurants as well things can get pretty expensive quite fast I’m also noticing that every time I Step Back In Paya there’s more
And more Indian restaurants popping up I don’t know how so many people just eat Indian food when they come to Thailand especially when you know you could be eating that amazing oh this is the space very expensive hotel I actually went up there for a massage treatment few months
Ago we went up there for an onent at a spot called let’s relax and to be honest with you guys it was a very great experience but very expensive um hotel to stay at it’s about $350 a night which for Thailand is crazy expensive and for anywhere in the world in general that’s
A lot of money so uh I didn’t stay there I just did a massage in the onon and I believe it came out to like $21 an absolute deal all right well it doesn’t look like there’s much
Traffic going on wow this Tesla is beautiful you know where I live it’s super common to see the Teslas rolling around everywhere but here in Thailand I only see a few on the streets and that could be because there’s not many like Tesla Chargers or charging stations
Everywhere got to love yourself a nice grab delivery driver they always save the day or I should say the nights when you’re hungry they always come through clutch The only positive to being in Thailand during rainy season is that there’s a lot less people
And well there’s actually quite a few positive there’s a lot less people um you obviously get to enjoy the wonderful things that Thailand has to offer like the foods the massages all the great shopping centers interacting with the people especially when it starts pouring and you just
Sit down at the closest like food stall that’s on the street to hide out from the rain there’s a lot of birds but one of them is obviously that uh the streets are a lot more calmer than there
Are than they are when it is pink season so hopefully sanctuary of Truth is that same way because literally people come all the way down to Paya just on day trips from Bangkok to see this Sanctuary now these little streets here remind me a lot of Bangkok once you get off the main
Uh Beach Road area the city starts to reminding me a lot more of Bangkok you get a lot more of a of a city feel compared to like you know the beach Life Field which I feel like a
Lot of people come to Paya looking for well you know what I’m not going to bore you guys too much longer with a a motorcycle ride I feel like we’ve done a lot of these this series here in Thailand because it’s it’s one of my favorite ways to get around and I’ll see
You guys once we make it to the sanctuary of Truth we should only be about yeah 7 8 minutes away by now it was only a 12-minute moto taxi ride so I’m not sure exactly how
Far in we are at the moments but we should be there very shortly look at how many 7vs there are in Thailand this is what’s impressive there’s one here on this corner and then there’s one literally right across the streets and I can see a few more straight up ahead as well
Oops oh man I love this country so much I hope to one day be able to live here fulltime I mean I could nowadays however as far as like my goals and what I have planned for the channel I just
Don’t see it happening just yet but it will it will happen in the future absolutely this is the only country I could honestly see myself living in outside of the US anywhere in the world I think
It’d be between Thailand and Mexico two countries that I just love so much and a large majority has a large majority for those reasons is because of the street food scene I love street food I love
Just being able to walk outside and run into a nightlife scene anywhere any time of day uh or any time of year I should say and I just love navigating around on public transportation I mean
My dream is to live in a huge City to be honest I love cities so I want to live in a huge City and just not own a car be able to just get around on Moto taxis public transportation buses that’s
Honestly like the best best feeling all right well enough small talk see you guys at the sanctuary of Truth sanctuary of Truth wow thank you I’ve never been here before so yeah this isn’t exactly what
I was expecting the entrance to look like but it is beautiful super stunning all right time for us to come on in and yeah there’s definitely a lot of uh tourists here a lot of tour buses pulling
On in I can see the signs for the ticket agent entrance and the kitchen which is Straight Ahead K thank you thank you guys all right we made it he and it does feel a little fresh here because
Of all the trees how was the Moto taxi ride good yeah that was smooth that was smooth huh if you guys are wondering why Andrew is like a little a little off this morning is because that boy

Because it’s still under construction that’s what I was reading online and I had no idea that that’s also included in the cost so that’s good to know and right now I guess first things first we’re
Going to walk up to the Viewpoint where we can see the sanctuary and then our tour will start in about 20 minutes which is perfect because that gives us time to take all the beautiful pictures
That glattus wasn’t able to get last time she was here so we’ll make that happen as well but yeah look here are the horses and to be honest you can say what you want but these horses look super
Beautiful and they look very well uh maintained like they definitely take a lot of pride in their horses so not bad you know a great place to bring all the kids and have a full day of activities
H swipe my crop I just told the horse that she’s beautiful hopefully she understood me because she is so beautiful wow they are gorgeous huh horses are just lovely animals all right well let’s get
Over to the Viewpoint and please do let me know along the way how do you guys feel about this video would you guys like to show me or would you like me to show you more temples around Thailand
As we explore them glattus and I were always on the hunt for new temples that we haven’t seen before and we always go out and see them but we don’t often times record them because well
To be quite honest with you guys a lot of people when I post a video about something historical or something like important people don’t care about the video it never gets any views you guys want to
See the the nighti and the crazy videos which is fun but I like to share both what is here a little Pond oh it looks like they got like a little high Ropes Course that’s cool maybe another
Little project that they’re working on right now fun it looks fun huh I would do that if it was open right now in this Sanctuary it’s not only about the sanctuary but you can do activities all
Around you know it’s more like you can come here to spend a KN yeah I just noticed there’s a sign over there it says mini Zoo yeah there’s some mini Zoo yeah wow yeah definitely very unique
Experience especially because well it’s quite cool under here there’s a lot of Green Space a lot of trees so it really blocks out that heat quite well all right so we’re approaching the entrance now it looks like there’s also a car park if you bring your own Vehicles actually the car park is
Probably um where we saw all EV ANS parked outside yeah this is staff parking only then straight up ahead they have a Muslim prayer room so if you’re Muslim and you won’t have to worry about missing your here prayer times there’s a there’s a special place for you guys here at the sanctuary
The kitchen and the entrance are this way but yeah to my surprise I’ve truly been blown away by how many I’ve been seeing a lot of Russians here this trip huh haven’t you a lot of Russians and a lot
Of the menus and shops are all switched in Russian uh language I’m not sure if that’s the the time of year for Russian tourists to come maybe it’s just absolutely freezing in Russia so everybody’s here
Now but usually I only see that in puket however this time around In Paya it is crazy full so it looks like here’s a smoking area nice little place to lounge around and I can already see
The the sanctuary so let’s get on a little closer and enjoy it from the Viewpoint wow okay you know what I’ve seen this on a lot of pictures but I have never been this close before and it is
Huge wow that’s a nice place to take a photo right let’s actually try to weave around and get a nice view of this place wow that is impressive guys that is so beautiful okay you know what I’ve seen so many pictures of this place but it definitely
Doesn’t look as big in the photo as it as it is this is massive it’s huge tell you this is impressive and look at the the the scaffolding people still working up there people look very
Little I don’t know if you guys can see them they’re right there in that tip and you know what makes this Temple super special we’re going to learn a lot more about it obviously as we go on but is that here there’s no nuts or bolts or screws that are used onto this
Temple it’s entirely made of wood and the wood pieces um are actually how it’s connected wow this is beautiful here you can see the the way they put the the pieces to together yeah wow
Instead of using um screws this is what they use a lap joint tongue and groove these are for the roofs butterfly joints wow what are these some sort of rods connecting rods man this is awesome
Maybe wrong that a screw yeah these are nails too I’m not sure if this is for the display though but you know what I think these are made out of wood they are they’re wood screw they’re
Wood nails like pieces of wood that’s crazy and this is what you can see on the top see in oh in every pillar so yeah on one side you got a man holding a Lotus represents the strong
Intention to be good over here you got a woman holding a book which represents learning the truth and of life and the or from the past then you got another one that says a man with a child
And the Elder represents the generosity towards others man it’s awesome over here a woman with a bird on the shoulder holding a rice Patty represents the peace can start within an individual and then the highest point is um well a goddess on a horse and it says that the highest
Top is the goddess with goddess on a horse with a dove and a flower on her hand represents the product of all four characters which is the life which is the life purpose and peace okay very cool
Isn’t it let’s get a little closer and get one more view wow that is gorgeous guys let me know what you guys think of this so far I mean that view alone is is priceless it’s completely worth
Uh coming on out and exploring for a few hours I can see some horses running down there with carriages as well I’m excited to dive on down there and get a little closer what a place and
The View with the sea behind is just amazing so the English tour has just started and now we are making our way down the steps now um she basically just went over all of the rules right
Now in the beginning that I kind of told you about as we entered the museum and um basically yeah you need to have clothing that covers your shoulders and your knees or else you will not be
Allowed to enter and if they are done renting well all of the stuff that you can borrow then you’re going to be forced to actually have to Pur purchase some coverings for your shoulders and your knees which tend to be quite expensive inside of the gift shop here oh wow this is
Beautiful look at the elephants to be honest this whole Adventure is just getting started but I already feel like I’ve missed out on so much because well I’ve been to Paya so many times and this is
The first time I’ve actually made it down here to this point so I think down here is where we’re going to be mounting our helmets I see a lot of ladies holding helmets hell everyone good afternoon so please deserve your helmets because we have construction
Inside the museum can adjust our helmet CRA so we will just wait for the others and we will go all together inside the museum hello s hello SAA okay please reserve your helmets everyone and let’s proceed this way while waiting for the others this way
Feels like we chose a nice day to come here huh there’s no rain it will be rain there will be rain later oh all right let’s keep that down then oh that looks like a nice place for a
Massage yeah so did we get an opportunity to do that after the tour we will have a lot of walk to do okay awesome inside and outside okay please have a seat first everyone while waiting
For the others please have a seat wow those are the boats man that is gorgeous wow you can sit there and get a nice little boat ride while drinking the Coconuts you know what I think
We’re doing that this trip we’re going to make sure we do that before we leave for Russian we have a Russian tour 230 after the English for English theat ride that looks amazing we will just wait for the others and we will go all together inside the museum all right is so
Everyone okay so everyone good afternoon and welcome to the sanctuary of trth Museum so my name is Kim and I will be your English tour guide for today so our tour will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour but don’t worry because after the tour you can have your free time
Until 6:00 p.m. in the evening and I will do my very best to make it quicker so you can have your free time earlier so by the way the reason why we’re wearing a helmet is because our museum is under construction it is only for our safety purposes so follow
With me first until the very end of the tour I will just give you informations and directions inside and outside the museum so let’s proceed on the workshop first this why everyone wow I’m excited and you know I’ve traveled all around the world and you guys
Can say what you want I’m not being an [ __ ] but I traveled around the world I always pay for English speaking tour and the English is never very good but here what her English is is Bomb it’s better than mine but yeah look at the boats we’re
Doing a boat ride so beautiful it is this is such a beautiful experience especially coming here as a kid I can imagine would be so amazing okay please be careful with your steps everyone All right everyone is safe looks like that’s where they’re making all kinds of flower arrangements and here’s the workshop on everyone okay let’s move here for a [Music] while wow yeah a lot of construction is going
On you got this man filing they’re doing some sanding over there a lot of woodwor okay so if anyone of you wants to use the toilet you can use it first because inside the museum we don’t have any toilet okay so everyone I know it’s a bit noisy and Dusty here but I’m
Sure it’s very difficult to witness a real traditional process like this so everyone this part this is our cutting Department area so this is where they bring all the woods to cut them and for form them into round shape or Circle form once it has been formed here
They will transfer it inside the carving Department area okay let’s move on this way so this is where so over in the on the left is where all the wood is actually formed into the different pieces and here is where they do all
Of the carving and look at these pieces of of work that they have how amazing is that it’s quite impressive that all of this is done by hand imagine one mistake and it can be costly okay wow that is impressive this is our paring Department area so here you can
See how the wooden Carvers doing their work patiently you can also see here how the museum has created piece by piece in terms of the design we already have the original plan from from the owner himself okay let’s move on as well
Everyone okay so everyone on my left side you will see the biography of the founder so in 1963 he built the ancient city museum in 1994 he built the aaan museum Museum and in 1981 our very own sanctuary of th Museum was built and is
Still under construction until now okay let’s move on this way we can come closer everyone okay so everyone this is the original model of the museum which is made of entirely wood so it has a scale of 1 to 10 1 cm here and 10 cm there which means the museum is 10
Times bigger than this model so what we need to do here is we demonstrate here first all the artwork before we conduct the real work so our museum is unique and different from other places because we did not use any concrete Nails however later on inside you will see some part
That there are still some nails but that part is not yet done so they only use the nails to fix the wood together but once the woods can hold on its own already they will remove the nails and
Replace it with a wooden joint technique that I will show you over here please come to the front everyone this way wow that is impressive so this this model that’s sitting next to us if you guys didn’t hear her clearly is 10 times smaller than the actual Sanctuary which is right next to
Us okay you know what let’s come over this way said once the wow guys look at this this is amazing remil and the gentlemen that are all the way up there in the scaffolding they’re so high
Up and W W so our museum has over 170 poles and columns supporting its weight so we actually use two to three pieces of woods like this and put a glue to hold them stronger and at the top is
The caring pole so this one won’t be moved while in our balcony and columns we this kind of food and Joint technique and as you can see it has no nails and this is how we interlock them together
While in our walls we use the butterflying joint to attach two pieces of woods and put a glue to hold them stronger but this one is only for the single if they want to add more they will use
The long Dove tail and what they do is they just keep adding more and more and at the back is the decoration and the carving of it so this knowledge came from the ancient Tha Workers code Pasay which
Is pass on from generations to Generations so later on after the tour you can come back here you can touch them so you know how they function you can also come back to the carving Department
Area and you’re allowed to do the carving as well but for now let’s proceed on our to room one this way okay this have one wow this is so beautiful it’s even more gigantic when you’re sitting at the base of
It wow okay please come closer this way okay so everyone as you can see our museum has different colors so the fresh brown color is the new artwork the old color over there that is the old artwork and and it has the effect from the rain sun and sea salt because we’re very
Close to the Sea the green part it is due to the chemical that we use to control termites and insects so the structure of the museum was designed as chatura M four holes built by four directions it is inspired by an ancient Royal Palace called fratin sfed Maha Prasad that’s
Why if you look at it it looks like a palace but everyone I want to remind you this is not a temple I repeat this is not a temple this is a museum all the artworks here are inspired by
Many traditional cultures such as Indian Thai Chinese Cambodian and so on however even though this is not a temple the reason why we ask some of you to cover is because we have a Buddhist Relic
Inside the museum it is only our way to show our respect okay let’s move on this way everyone let’s proceed wow that is amazing so I actually was under the confusion that this was a temple for
So long because of all the rules and stuff that I had seen online but that is because of all of the um Buddhist relics that are inside and uh formations of all the other religions it’s just
To respect um the temple as a whole because as she mentioned this Temple is a it’s a safe house for everyone everyone’s welcome here Chinese um what what Buddhists Catholics Muslims every religion is welcome here it’s a tribute of Life yeah exactly and what they explained to
Us earlier everyone this part this is our exit point so this is where our tour will end later on I repeat the exit Point not the entrance so by the way at the top as you can see so this
Is narashima Mantra and Daka so they symbolizes the victory of good over evil so they use their power to remove any negative aspects in life so again again this is narashima Mantra and duraka okay this everyone let’s see so as the lady was explaining in the entrance um the symbol
Of this Sanctuary is to symbol that symbolize that all humans can live together no matter what religion or race you are and I think that is beautiful wow all of the details is just amazing it’s very impressive I don’t think I’ve ever seen yeah something so gorgeous before in my
Life all right so everyone okay everyone you can come closer okay everyone still good still okay everyone start already okay so everyone the museum is divided into three main parts so the roof that is five tier from lowest to highest the
Body which is composed of walls Windows vent and floors and the base which is divided into three parts so the first one is the plain base because it has no decoration the second one is the singha
Leg or the lion leg and the third one is the Lotus base because it is inspired by a lotus flowers so the gap between each base are all decorated as the Thai tradition cultures because the owner wants
To show to people that in the old days Ty people create cultures to connect the people to society so in this part this is all Tha F place so in the past they used but they have in the nature to
Create games like here they use banana 3 to create fake hores here they use coconut shell to create a game and this one is [ __ ] fighting while from here up to here this is all related ated
To the rice Farmers because in the old days most of Thai people are rice Farmers so from planting the rice harvesting it and praying for the rain okay let’s move on this way everyone let’s proceed see these tours are super important to take because then you you you know you’re
Looking at everything but you don’t really know what you’re looking at and the way that she’s describing everything is just extremely important and I would have never been able to put two in two together just by looking at it I would have just been like oh wow
It’s impressive great architecture great design the artist was a mastermind but once she tells you about all the different stories and why they’re there okay so by the way everyone this part this is decorated as the ramayana epics story which is in every
Society we always have the good and the bad so here the monkey represents varana which is the good one and the giant represents Aura which is the by okay let’s proceed this by everyone but yeah you can see all of the construction workers logging around different pipes and plumbing right now it’s very
Impressive okay this way all right so everyone this is the sing habon balcon so it is inspired by a royal balcony it is used to Grant a public audence in a special location and as you can see
It’s decorated with ban Nakata jar which inside has a branches of flowers and leaves and that represents wealth happiness peace Beauty and creativity okay let’s move on this way everyone let me know what you guys think of this down in the comments section as well and let me know if
You guys are thoroughly enjoying this video because it’s more so a tour of the sanctuary and although there is a lot of information that she’s giving us it’s quite impressive information so it makes super nice to to listen to there everyone this way all right so before
We proceed I want to show you first this one so this is the only mechanical that we use in the museum so it is only used to live physical handicap people pregnant woman or some Elders
Who cannot go up on the stairway so moving on over there at the top as you can see that is the four faces of Brama which represents the four golden states of mind and that is the loving kindness compassion sympathetic joy and Equanimity below the four faces of Brahma
Is the Indra riding aroan which is the three headed elephants and that represents the three characteristic of a good leadership and that is avoid thinking saying and doing negative things to the other people okay now we’re about to go up on the museum this way everyone
It’s quite impressive how many people are currently working on the sanctuary as well I mean they have a lot of construction workers excuse me ma’am how many people are currently working on the construction site well actually now there are 300 300 people yeah wow before they are 400 but because of the
All right this everyone so we also have a Brer over here with different languages you can get one if you want so please go inside e turn right everyone go inside wow it’s awesome and the breeze that you get through the windows is amazing but look at this guys look at the detail
It is gorgeous and you can tell that these um big figures are actually made out of one solid piece of wood you can imagine like I mentioned earlier one mistake and you know that whole piece of wood is damag okay everyone this way please go inside wow look at this
Everyone more inside everyone still good everyone still okay yes everyone still with me okay so everyone inside the museum we will explore the seventh rot of life and this one is the first one so who are we where we came from the first R of Life represents human equ that no matter how
Rich you are where you came from what religion you believe in we’re all the same and we’re all compounded with four elements and that is the element of earth water fire and wind so we’re all the solving of the same respect and treatment so the first one is the element of Earth which
Is the most solid comparing to other elements So Below you you will see forest and animals in our body it could be our bone skin teeth and organ or any other solid in our body the next one is
The element of water so below you will see some waves in our body it could be our blood plasma sweat tears or any other liquids that we have in our body the next one is the element of fire So
Below you will see the dragon breathing a fire in our body it could be your body temperature and energy and lastly the element of wind so here you can see the moving of the cloth and
The trees in our body is our oxygen so these are the four elements that made us all humans equal so again the first rot of life is all about human equality so now let’s proceed on the second
Thre of life don’t worry after DET tour you can always come back here to take photos and videos again okay let’s move on this way everyone okay guys well I think I’m actually going to put the camera down now and enjoy the rest of the tour without filming to really embrace all
The information but I mean look at this guys this here is the construction that’s going on hard at work man that’s a lot of hard work I wonder how they all learn these techniques because not just your average construction worker could come and start building on something like this right all
Of this is new really when I came this was open only the balconies so all of this they put like two months I wow within the last two months all of this has been created that is impressive well yeah
Actually I’ll show you guys a little bit more of the sanctuary then I’m going to put this down to enjoy the rest of the tour um without filming you know I I I don’t know how you guys are holding up
Let me know if you guys are bored are you guys entertained I need to know the feedback from you guys that way I and continue to U make videos like this but here we’re standing like right in
The center of the sanctuary right now or the museum and wow this is massive I mean those walls are huge these pillars are just incredible so beautiful and you know you almost feel like a
Sense of you feel like a sense of Peace when you walk in here even though there’s a lot of tourists like you can definitely um appreciate everything that’s that all the hard work and thoughts and knowledge behind every specific design inside of here and it doesn’t matter which way you go
Now as you start learning bits and pieces from the tour guide you can kind of like put together little stories as you’re looking at them even just using your imagination like here you got the dragons more trees waves elephants it finished until the end from there to top they need to they
Still got to keep going huh wow okay well you know what guys um I’ll see you once we make it outside of the museum maybe for the boat ride or uh what should we do first boat ride or foot
Massage boat ride boat ride all right we’ll see what the prices are for the boat ride and um we’ll potentially go on a boat ride and then of course absolutely do a foot massage just finished up the
Tour of the museum and this place is incredible guys seriously a place you must visit now right now I’m actually going to walk back into the carving and woodworking area to see if I can actually get my hands on some some of the pieces of wood and maybe leave a little carving
Behind and of course give a tip to one of these hardworking individuals here at the Museum I mean there’s so many of these people and they are so so talented I mean it takes a lot of work to be
Able to carve all of these pieces of wood into Perfection so our tour guide actually told us if we went inside that they would be more than happy to let us um leave a little piece of carving on a
Piece of wood that is going to be installed into this incredible Museum here within the next few months or a few years so let’s see if we can do that here in a second so this here is the carving
Area I and I want to see if maybe I can put a little bit of work into one of these pieces of wood oh that is so beautiful isn’t it lookss like it takes a lot of
Work how’s it going sir all right is what is this going to be it’s going to be a Chinese traditional lion Chinese traditional lion yeah wow you guys are so talented it’s amazing how you guys do
That takes a lot of practice huh is there any way I can maybe leave a little carving behind on the lion okay all right I can sit down right here awesome wow this is amazing just like that okay can you hold this for me yes let me try let me try it
Real quick okay so just very lightly huh yes very LLY don’t try to push too hard okay yes you’re doing good there we go yes okay you know what yes do that piece too yes okay here the
End so if you mess this up you have to redo the whole thing huh it’s yeah we don’t need to do the whole thing like if you make a mistake you got to do piece of wood a little bit of mistake
Is okay but when you get the whole out off it it it’s not okay it’s not okay huh all over where are you from BMA Myanmar yes wow you know that okay you know what here I let you do this
Because I don’t want to mess this up but thank you so much for letting me leave a memory here yes um so you’re from me you’re from me and Mark man I hope to visit your country one day one day
One day not right now not right now when it gets better right everything is going to get better one day I hope so okay here you go um is every all of you guys are for me and yes wow how did
You learn how to do this from here from here they teach you yes wow well here I leave you um 60 60 okay okay thank you that is amazing how many hours you have on this piece um five
Days on G 5 days on the Chinese dragon alone or Chinese lion wow so yeah if you make a mistake on that you you not only wasted the wood but you wasted 5 days or a week of your time man you

Thank you so much thank you so much brother take care guys wow that was cool so I was just able oh let me take the helmet don’t leave the helmet bye guys so that was awesome I just got to carve
A piece of the Chinese Chinese lion that’s going to be inside of the sanctuary next time we come we got to look for that yes I wonder what piece that is finding it well yeah this here is where
All of the carving takes place now I think we’re actually walking the wrong way should we go to the to the foot massage area or the boat I think the boat all right let’s go check out a foot
Massage you just want to sleep true she’s right all right let’s go check out the boats maybe we’ll purchase a coconut from there and then go on a nice little boat ride but this is amazing guys such a good experience and definitely come on down and leave a little bit of your visits
Behind so according to the the gentleman I was talking to they actually learned how to do all of this carving here in Thailand how amazing is that so they definitely have to pay very close attention and the school must be kind of intense because you can imagine they don’t have like large
Pieces of wood to just be throwing away due to mistakes all right so I think theat boat ride actually leaves from down here let’s check the prices of the boats and then we’ll head on we’ll head on down for a little Adventure let me see what the prices are down here where
Where do you purchase drinks though oh there’s a small little like Cafe Restaurant over in this direction um yeah what is the price of the boats yeah price of the boats okay 3% oh maybe you have to purchase the ticket somewhere
Else I have three persons with me how much how much Bots how much 1, 300 oh one person 300 okay you no ticket I do have no not ticket for boats okay um I grab a drink and then we come okay thank
You all right so I guess we need to purchase a ticket it’s 300 B per person let’s try and see if we can’t get a drink and then we’ll go on a little boat ride to be honest that’s almost
As expensive as it cost to enter the museum the whole Sanctuary experience on its own but you know what When in Rome we’ll do it why not all right I see gladus over there making some
Stories let’s actually check out this little snack area and see what we can get our hands on okay so these here are like some of the pictures that they were running around t prior to the visit umbrella over here and then down here is the food and drink like little snack station
So we came to a decision very fast I don’t think we’re actually going to do the boat ride because it’s 300 B per person the entrance was 500 bucks so that’s one reason and then also because we just
Checked the forecast and rain is going to come you can almost smell it when it’s about to pour here in Thailand so I think we’re just going to take advantage of the time maybe grab a smoothie
And then go sit down at the foot massages and I can actually see that the elephant riding tours start up here as well I noticed a couple people doing laps in the elephants and it’s quite funny
Because on the the brochure they actually put in red writing that says do keep in mind that our elephants are constantly main are constantly being visited by a veterinarian and they are all properly nourished and healthy because of course they work at such a big um site so yeah
You can take it as what for whatever you are if your belief is to not ride them then don’t ride them but if if other people are doing it and they say it’s okay then it is what it is who
Are we to judge well I definitely pass on the elephant right and if you if I have to make a choice between the Bold right and fot massage of course foot massage foot massage all right so foot
Massage it is before this rain comes let’s get it are you ready for a foot massage yes I’m always ready for a foot massage try to get like two out of two times a day but you don’t want that’s my
Boy that’s my boy I am not about the two times a day massage I’m more about the one time a day but Andrew and glad man they do two three times a day minimum it’s crazy I think that’s a little
Too much two times a day and then a full body yeah that’s my body it’s too much and you know what before we go to town I need a smoothie all right let’s get a smoothie what do you want what
Flavor can we order here or order here okay thank you which one do you want Andrew take a coconut smoothie coconut smoothie one for you what do you want o that’s hard decision coconut or mango I’m not sure okay well C wow you sell beer here too amazing what will see I definitely
Don’t want a beer right now though I want a nice smoothie I’ll take a mango and a water please okay okay take your time take your time but look they got smoothies 80 Bots coffees 80 to 100 Bots soft
Drinks herbal juices as well as shrimp chips onion rings chicken pops chicken fries you know a little bit of stuff to snack on wow this look delicious what is that a butterfly tea lime oh herbal teas
Yeah that does look nice and they also sell fresh coconuts by the way oh I’m always down for a fresh coconut yeah same here fresh coconut always hips the spot yeah you need two all right sorry no it’s
Okay take your time you guys are so busy here yes many people every day huh yes aw some day 2,000 2,000 visitors a day oh my god really really busy where are you from are you from uh from Paya
Yes where you from United States California but she’s from Venezuela Venezuela you know no I don’t I have my from R USA same oh okay Minnesota Minnesota [Music] oh it’s funny because every time gladus says uh Venezuela everybody especially in America says Minnesota and that just happened here
I don’t know it doesn’t sound the same but for a lot of people it does okay we’ll do one uh mango no you want a mango right one mango smoothie two coconut smoothies coconut smoothie no no more yeah okay now one mango smoothie then uhhuh actually two mango smoothie two pineapple smoothie
And one pineapple one and then um two waters no beer no beer no beer it’s too early it’s never all right it’s never too early I just don’t want one right now you know I have a few later on
Right now I just really need a water 280 280 bus oh look at the water sanctuary of the truth it’s like Waton in Waton they make their own water as well sanctuary of the truth lovely s the TR
If you go to Waton Waton [Laughter] water oh no that is dangerous job you take your hand off every day she every day she does that yes bring a t thank all right so let’s sit down let’s have a t let’s get ourselves a table and then we’ll
Um go on down to get our foot massage you know what oh we can leave our helmets here I missed that station Saadi cop thank you kop all right let’s go and sit on sit on down by this little
Pond Lake Area you know what guys to be honest with you I just like to keep it 100% real all the time I am a cheap ass but 300 bus to cruise around this little man-made Pond for me I think
That’s expensive especially when you’re spending 500 to enter the museum we just spent 300 B on smoothies and Waters and personally that feels like a better decision because I can enjoy the same view without being on the boat now let me tell you something if you’re here with your
Children then that’s probably a great little activity to do but as some adults In Paya eh I could think of a million better way better ways maybe not a million a couple handful of better ways I could spend 300 Bots do you agree I know foot massage I’d rather foot massage or
Tight massage okay fair enough fair enough but that’s what I’m saying I’d rather spend an hour in some air conditioning getting rub down all my uh or five pets to use yeah you’re right there’s
A million ways to spend 300 B in Thailand and I don’t want to spend it on a small little boat ride so we’re passing on that you either way on the massage you can have this view you’ll
Have this view on the S 2 houri so it’s amazing oh awesome yeah it’s very relax and it’s 100 B for 1 hour yes oh man no 100 or 200 I read 100 Bots maybe that’s I think that’s half hour no
That’s the boats yeah the B looks beautiful it does look beautiful you can take your smoothie there yeah you can it’s cool it’s cool it’s cool still ain’t worried my 300 bot though but yeah um we’ll see exactly how the massages are priced out in a minute once we get there the
Smoothie worth every bit of the 80 Bots and glattus actually just purchased some bread that they actually use at all the temples to feed the fish however here the small piece of bread is
30 Bots per slice and at all the temples that we go to in t in Bangkok every time we arrive for the first time at WWA for for example the whole loaf of bread is 20 Bots and it’s
Huge so that is a big difference however it’s always fun feeding the fish and we actually just learned a few days ago that a lot of the different fish that are released into these ponds and lakes they’re actually released there for different reasons some for health some for
Um yeah wishing wishing themselves a great work week others to send blessings to their families and of course just like every other temple in Thailand people feed the fish and it’s illegal to fish where the fish are there’s a huge red one yeah I just saw that oh man he’s
Massive and there’s also um a lot of little ones a lot of little ones as well wow that red one’s huge need oh he came I’m taking all right well we’re going to enjoy a bit a few more minutes here and
Then we’ll make our way over to the football massage we left Andrew back at the tables basically because we’re short on time and the rain looks like it’s coming and they were taking forever with his food he actually just ordered french fries and was sitting there for about 25
Minutes and nothing came out so we were like you know what we got to get going so we’re walking through the rainforest now the little rainforest that they have here at the temple it’s actually super beautiful and there’s all kinds of like sculptures throughout it as well and then down
Here they have a resting point with chairs where you can actually Overlook the Little Pond and the restaurant that we’re eating at and then of course over this way is the foot massages so
Let’s make our way over there now see what we can get for a little bit of time but wow look at this view incredible right now we actually came down from that way is that how we leave as well yes oh yeah there’s the exit and
Then down in this direction are the massages let’s see how much a massage cost how much the massage uh 30 100 B 30 minutes 100 BS okay um okay how many more minutes for you 15 minutes 15 minutes 30 minutes okay okay thank you so we’re actually not doing the massage
So there’s only one masseuse available right now and there’s three of us so I actually don’t want to sit there for an hour by myself without um yeah everyone else around so you know what I’m
Going to take one for the team I’m not going to do my massage even know gladus is like yeah do it do it do it we’ll wait for you I don’t want to have them waiting for an hour so definitely
If you’re planning on coming to sanctuary of the truth this is a full day activity I mean you can spend the whole day here yeah or half day yeah I think so right but you got to come here with time
Is basically what I want to say if you think it’s one of those places you can come take a picture of and leave no you’re wrong this is definitely a minimum 2hour place but you can easily spend about
5 hours to do all of the attractions Now by far what has been your favorite part of the sanctuary o I really love the tour I think the tour it’s very detail they I I like that it’s included on
The price so and the massage of course that’s my favorite part like you are going to have a lot of food massages in Thailand all around Thailand but nothing like a massage with the sanary of the TR
As a background exactly and to be honest with you guys I’m a bit disappointed that I can’t do the massage right now but we’ll come back we’ll come back um with time and probably not film it next
Time because of course um I think next time I’m coming to this place I’m not bringing any cameras we’re going to come and just enjoy it without filming because this is a job it does take a
Lot out of you and I feel like there’s a lot of stuff that even I miss when I’m out filming that I never even really see until I go back and view the video I’m like oh so that’s what was she was
Pointing at like you know I’m too worried about making sure the camera isn’t overheating in this heat that I’m not overheating in this heat and just um all around focus on everything else but what I’m doing in that actual moment so um the tour to amazing I would really like to come back
And do this look in this little house you can Dr a Tha custom for 400 b so that way you take amazing pictures like with you know the Ty C and so yeah that would be awesome now you know what
Let’s actually get a little closer to the elephant I want to show them the elephant oh here they come actually guys here comes two of the elephant rides that I man it makes me so sad to see to be honest
I think um for everybody watching for all those Thai government officials that are going to see this video I think this is one of those things that should be should be removed from the the
Park now I actually um just got done seeing they that they say that they don’t hit the animals or anything but I’ll be honest with you guys I just saw this um so the people that are up in front
They’re actually called Mah Hoots and the people that are riding them are tourists but I actually just witnessed right as they were walking away I didn’t want to say it too loud cuz I don’t want
To start any problems but I noticed that uh one of the mots hit the elephant on the top of his head with the wooden stick and the wooden stick actually has like a chisel end and he was like you
Know scraping the the top of the elephant’s head probably in a hurtful way because the elephant didn’t want to move so I don’t know just things that I noticed and I personally don’t think it’s right and I think that a lot of people would actually enjoy it a lot more here
If that wasn’t present what you say or at least keep the elephants there and you know maybe put in a little area where you can feed them bananas and you know give them water why not stuff like
That is fine but there’s no need to um do laps around the the museum with Taurus on your back but whatever um I can’t change the world can’t change people’s opinions all right Andrew is still sitting here with no french fries man these These are 45-minute french fries they better be
The best I hope you ordered them with like some truffle butter or something I hope like I don’t know they’re coming from France no they’re on the way they’re out looking for the potatoes right now but what with we passed on the massages because there’s only one massuse available the other one
Just started and they’re 1 hour massages well 30 minutes for 100 Bots 1 hour for 200 B which is an amazing deal by the way guys that’s super cheap like um 200 B is what we find in the local sides
Of Bangkok like or 170 180 um but around like pataya pataya walking Street any other tour areas you’re looking at like 350 350 300 for an hour so 200 bu great great option but yeah anyways I think
This is where we’re going to end today’s video we’ll probably be spending all night here waiting on your fries but that’s all good if you’re coming here order a smoothie and forget about the food
Go eat it somewhere else about 5 minutes to get a refund in about 5 minutes man he’s five he’s about 20 minutes later than what I would have asked for a refund but more power to more impatient
Than yeah fair enough well it’s nice seeing you guys of the truth by grab by grab or by Moto taxi we’ll probably take a moto taxi to be honest but um yeah see you guys again soon for another one I was the one to take a love
