Saint Joseph Catholic Church, Ayutthaya

Amidst a sprawling garden along the banks of Chao Phraya, lies the grand and bright yellow building of Saint Joseph Catholic Church. There is a Catholic school right next to the church, which is why it's always bustling with noise and energy. The St Joseph Church is considered to be one of the oldest churches in Thailand. It was built on request by the Vietnamese missionaries who were headed by French bishop Lambert De La Motte. Since the church is within the premises of a school, it mostly remains closed. However, the main building opens for the mass on Saturdays and Sundays, during particular timings. Active even today, St. Joseph Church served as the centre for the French Catholic Mission for the better part of a hundred years before it was destroyed by the Burmese invasion of Ayutthaya. Mass is held on the weekends at this iconic yellow church. The grounds include a small lake and gravestones of Catholics buried as far back as the 1500s. Read More

The fact that the Thai Boat Museum in Ayutthaya is a private enterprise is a surprise for most of the visitors. Ajarn Paitoon also renovated the traditional Thai boat models and collected them to display in his museum, which now stands as a symbol of his love for boats.

It was predominately a royal temple where the king, along with the rest of the royal family, worshipped in private. The holy shrine is situated opposite the South Western end of the highly popular Ayutthaya Historical Park. Tourists enjoying a boat trip on the Chao Phraya river can view the impressive Wat Chaiwatthanaram from afar as well. It is a common halting point for the tourist boats and dinner cruise vessels with the visitors enjoying the spectacular sight of the tall temple that is lit up at night. It also serves as a vantage sunset point with the tour guides making sure to provide their customers with a magnificent natural show amidst the river. Wat Chaiwatthanaram is known for its elaborate detailing conforming to the 17th century Khmer architecture with the top tower known as prang attracting instant attraction.
