The truth is in the details

Day out in Laem Chabang visiting the Sanctuary of Truth, then the Big Buddha statue. Fascinating construction methods. Mum asked when the sanctuary would be finished. Maybe never, they keep thinking of new ornaments for it!

It's not a temple.

There was incredible workmanship throughout the complex. Both theme park and a way of retaining traditional skills.
 

 
 
 


From the sanctuary we went to the Big Buddha complex.
Final stop before we returned to the ship was of course a shopping centre for souvineers.
Back on board in time for the cocktail hour!
