Assumption Cathedral

23 Soi Charoen Krung 40, Charoen Krung Road, Bang Rak Sub-district, Bang Rak District.

The Assumption Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of the Assumption, serves as the main cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese in Bangkok. It also hosts three schools: Assumption College, Assumption Convent School, and Assumption College Thonburi. Located in the Bang Rak district of Bangkok, the cathedral was originally constructed in a traditional Thai style by Father Pascal, who was of Thai-Portuguese descent. The current structure was rebuilt in 1909 under the guidance of Father Émile Auguste Colombet, a French priest, to accommodate the growing number of Christians in the area. The new design was overseen by a French architect and featured materials such as marble and stained glass imported from France, Singapore, and Italy.
