Chanthaburi Cathedral
About Chanthaburi Cathedral
This cathedral is Thailand's largest catholic building. Originally built as a small missionary chapel in 1711, it underwent four reconstructions between 1712 and 1906, each of which involved major additions to the original structure. During world war II, its tall roof was removed out of fear of it being too easy a target to bomb.
