  1. This is a Catholic Church and well worth a visit if your in the area. It is very pretty inside. There are some fine art painted on the walls.

  2. It’s the first church in Ayutthaya era. The church is so beautiful with yellow color. It’s near the river. In the sunset time, It’s so beautiful and warming. There’re sheep too!

  3. Only saw this from the boat trip we went on but it looked wonderful and we wished we’d had time to get back and see it!

  4. Beautiful church that can be seen along a river cruise. It doesn’t really fit in with the historic Thai ruins, but is well maintained and interesting to see.

  5. Built during the reign of King Narai in the year 1666 by Lambert de la Motte priest and 2 priests. The missionaries had met with King Narai and asked for a land to build a church and a school. To do religious activities and educating to the children. After has the land, they built a church and a school made from wood called “Khai Nakboon Joseph (Saint Joseph’s camp)”.

  6. Came here on a tuktuk from Wat Maha That as I wanted to see around the city. At a cost of ฿200 (£4.88) one-way, the tuktuk was probably not worth it as I could’ve walked back to my hotel and got my motorbike.The building itself is impressive and an information sign near the entrance of the church details times the church has had to be rebuilt for various reasons such as Burmese invasion etc.The day I came, there was a huge service on so I couldn’t see the inside of the church properly, although I was allowed to enter and stood in the doorway. The church is air conditioned!If you’re staying near the city centre, it’s about 5 miles away from there so I would recommend driving there on a motorbike or a pushbike unless you don’t mind spending around ฿400 (£9.76) on tuktuks there and back.

  7. discovered by accident. never went inside but at night it has a subtle light show and i caught it from across the river.

  8. It was not in our itinerary to this historic city, without further venture into more temples our tour guide asked if we were interested to visit a church, well why not and here we are no regrets what a beautiful church and it history. There were 2 earlier bishops lay to their rest the church itself. The architecture I called it the Yellow Church were nicely maintained till this day by the residents. Well worth the visit.

  9. It was refreshing to find a Portuguese Catholic Church in this city of ruined Buddhist Temples and which also, recorded on the wall, suffered many rebuilds after being destroyed by the Burmese in wars between Burma and Siam from the 16th to 19th Century – Across (the) Chao Phraya river from the main historic sites of the old city – access by car , taxi / Tuk Tuk is recommended as it is quite a walk if the weather is hot and humid – the entrance is through the main gates of a school towards the river and then there is a car park on your left – it is a picturesque ornate sandstone colored building with a square three story tower over the main entrance inside it was quiet and cool the striking part to me being the ornate half dome over the alter – certainly out of the way but worth the effort to visit if historic buildings are among your interests

  10. It has a very nice location close to the rivver and it is very wellekept at least from the exterior which we did. It is not very big.
