真理圣所:泰国芭堤雅的杰作
The Sanctuary of Truth is located in Banglamung District, Chonburi Province, and about 10km from downtown Pattaya.
真理圣所位于春武里省邦拉蒙区，距离芭堤雅市中心约10公里。
The construction of the sanctuary was started on August 13, 1981, based on the ideas and sponsorship of Thai tycoon Lek Viriyaphan - the owner of Chonburi motor vehicle company and Viriya insurance company.
真理圣所的建设始于1981年8月13日，是泰国大亨列克·维里亚潘的想法和赞助。维里亚潘是春武里机动车公司和维里亚保险公司的所有者。
Although it was built nearly 40 years ago, the Sanctuary of Truth has not been completed, or maybe will never be completed because it has to be repaired day by day to combat the destruction of time and the severity of weather.
虽然它建于近40年前，但真理的避难所还没有完成，或者可能永远不会完成，因为它必须日复一日地修复，以对抗时间和恶劣天气的破坏。
With such dedication and effort, the Sanctuary of Truth in Pattaya is not only an ancient architectural work of art, but also a testament to the relentless creativity of modern Thai people.
在这样的奉献和努力下，芭堤雅的真理圣所不仅是一件古老的艺术建筑，也是现代泰国人民不屈不挠的创造力的证明。
