Assumption Cathedral

Bangrak · Colonial-era church · Free

I've been down to this crypt twice. The inscriptions are in French, Latin, and Portuguese. Bangkok was multilingual before it decided to be Thai.

French missionary architecture from 1910, on a mission site from 1809. The cathedral's crypt holds Bangkok's oldest documented European graves.
