Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Chanthaburi

Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Chanthaburi holds the distinction of being the biggest Roman Catholic church building in Thailand. It is the mother church of the Diocese of Chanthaburi, which covers the provinces of Chanthaburi, Chonburi, Prachinburi, Rayong, Sa Kaeo and Trat.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was built in the Gothic style in 1909. It is located along Chanthanimit road, on the left bank of the Chanthaburi River. The cathedral stands on the site of the first missionary chapel which was built there in 1711. It grew a few times when the parish was enlarged by the infusion of Vietnamese Christians who fled religious persecution in the home coountry seeking refuge in Thailand.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
