In the Sathon District of Bangkok, around the corner of Convent Road, lies the timeless Christ Church Bangkok. Known for being a parish in the Anglican Church, it hosts a wide congregation of over 400 members and welcomes individuals of various nationalities and denominational backgrounds.
History
In 1828, with the arrival of Protestant missionaries from the Church of England, Christianity began to make its way across the heart of the city. What started as a Protestant Union Chapel in 1864, later grew into the Christ Church Bangkok, under the patronage of King Rama V in 1904.
Places to Stay
If you are hoping to stay in the district for a few days after the service, you could look into one of the serviced apartments in Bangkok. For a place that contains a rejuvenating spa complete with pool access and sprawling deluxe bedrooms, Chatrium Residence Sathon Bangkok makes up for the perfect abode.
Service Times
Make your way to the church on a Sunday at either 7.30 am or 10.00 am, for a sanctified service. If you are not in Bangkok but still wish to take part, join the live stream at 10 am on Facebook or YouTube.
