Temple of Truth in Thailand

The eccentric Thai millionaire Lek Viriyaphan began to build the Temple of Truth at his own expense in 1981. According to legend, he was told that he would die as soon as the temple was completed. It happened 19 years later, and the temple is still under construction, for three decades. “Made entirely of wood and covered with fine carvings, this building is filled with religious and philosophical truth and shows what human civilization has achieved,” reads the flyer. True. Some parts of the temple have already been rotting for thirty years in the open air, others are being built, others are being restored - a reduced copy of human civilization. The temple does not represent any religion, it is an attempt to combine the national and religious traditions of neighboring countries.
The dimensions are colossal - 105 meters high, about a thirty-storey building.
