Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Thailand)

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Thai: อาสนวิหารพระนางมารีอาปฏิสนธินิรมล) is the largest church of Thailand. A first missionary chapel was built at the site in 1711. After being enlarged and rebuilt four times during the nineteenth century, especially due to the immigration of Vietnamese Christian fleeing religious persecution in the homecountry.

In 1909 it was rebuilt in its current Gothic style. It is located at the Chanthanimit Road on the left bank of the Chanthaburi River. During World War II the spires were taken down to make the church a less obvious navigational aid to allied bombers; they have since been replaced.

The most beautiful church in eastern Thailand. A great heritage of cultural melting pot of this city. Close during lunch time (12.00-13.00)

วัดพุทธ ไม่ค่อยเปิดโบสถ์ วัดคริสต์เปิดโบสถ์ให้คนเข้าชม ทุกวัน แปลกดีสำหรับประเทศที่ได้ชื่อว่าเป็นเมืองพุทธ

Самый большой католических храм (костёл) Таиланда. В субботу и воскресенье доступ посетителям закрыт. Величественный зал и атмосферное звучание органа.
