St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral
26-28 Soi Wachiratham Sathit 36, Sukhumvit 101/1, Bang Chak, Phra Khanong, Bangkok 10260
St. Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral is the main church of the Russian Orthodox community in Thailand, a white building with traditional domes standing out in a residential soi off Sukhumvit 101/1 in Bang Chak. Its foundation stone was laid in December 2012 and it was consecrated in 2014; in 2024 it received a relic of St Nicholas. Visitors come to see the icon-filled interior and the unusual architecture for Bangkok, or to attend the Divine Liturgy, with services in English, Russian and Thai and a choir that reviewers praise. It sits on Soi Wachiratham Sathit 36 in Phra Khanong district, roughly a 20-minute walk or short taxi ride from BTS Punnawithi or Udom Suk. There is no ticket; it is an active church, so dress modestly and check service times on its Facebook page before going.
Rating from public reviews
Each part combines public reviews from several sites (194 reviews). Not our own visit.
Visitors are struck by the beautiful Russian-style architecture and icons and by how warmly priests and parishioners welcome newcomers.
It is tucked away in a residential soi well off the main sights and can be hot inside, so it takes effort to reach.
