Imagine a cathedral-sized wooden structure rising like a mythical ark on the shores of Pattaya. Now imagine every inch of that building covered in hand-carved deities, demons, dancers, dragons, and celestial beings — not just for show, but to represent deep philosophical truths about life, the universe, and everything in between.

There are cathedrals... and then there’s Durham Cathedral. Built nearly a thousand years ago atop a rocky bluff overlooking the River Wear, this towering Norman masterpiece doesn’t just dominate the landscape—it commands your imagination. With its massive stone pillars, soaring ribbed vaults, and stories echoing through every corridor, it’s no wonder UNESCO called it one of the greatest monuments of European architecture.
