The Assumption Cathedral in Bangkok is located in the old part of the city, a little off Charoenkrung Road and very nearby to the famous Oriental Hotel. It is also a stone throw away from the Chao Phraya River.
This church has been renovated very beautifully inside in the style of a European style church.

Photography was not allowed, so I took just a couple of quick photo. We attended the Saturday sunset mass.

The only problem is the website is not in English although there are English sections. You can also get more information of the cathedral from following wikipedia page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assumption_Cathedral,_Bangkok
You can also have details of mass times for the various churches in Bangkok on this webpage, http://www.stjohn.ac.th/Department/info/ch_schedule.html.
Until the next time, cheers.
