Pattaya: The iconic Sanctuary of Truth Museum in Pattaya is included in the World Book of Records as the largest wooden castle in the world, a recognition of its unparalleled architectural and cultural significance. What makes this structure extraordinary is not just its size, but its unique construction method — the entire castle is built without using nails.

 

Instead, it follows ancient Thai woodworking techniques, where each piece of wood is carefully interlocked and joined using traditional craftsmanship. The intricate carvings and patterns, inspired by the finest art traditions from across East Asia, elevate the monument into a living symbol of spiritual and artistic expression.

 

The official World Book of Records certification is bestowed to Pichan Viriyahphan CEO, Khun Warakorn Viriyaphun and Apiwan Viriyahphan Vice President by Dr. Aphinita Chaichana, the Thailand adjudicator, in a formal ceremony to be held at the site. The recognition honours both the architectural brilliance and the preservation of traditional Thai artistry. This global recognition further cements the Sanctuary of Truth as a cultural treasure and a must-visit landmark that bridges history, spirituality, and craftsmanship in breath-taking harmony.

 

World Book of Records CEO Advocate Santosh Shukla extends his heartfelt congratulations on your remarkable achievement.
