The Romance of the Three Kingdoms Park (Suan Samkok)
The Three Kingdoms Theme Park is a testament of filial piety that the six children have for their father, Mr. Kiarti Srifuengfung, a successful Chinese-Thai businessman. His last wish was for a memorial to be built that would allow others to understand and appreciate aspects of Buddhism, Thai and Chinese culture and philosophy, and his favorite Chinese epic, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, compiled by Luo Guan Zhong of the Ming Dynasty. It remains the greatest and best known Chinese classical novel. This impressive project also strives to generate income for the society and kingdom of Thailand.

The Sanctuary of the Truth
An astonishing Teak wood structure, covering 3,000 square meters, celebrating Buddhist, Thai, Chinese, and Indian culture.
