Our town has church, junior and high schools. Many of the local towns have churches, in the 70s Vietnamese Christians settled here fleeing Communism, there was already a substantial population of Vietnamese descent living here. The Cathedral would be the best-known building in the province and features in local government promotions. Local Catholics held their 300 years celebrations in 2011.

The missus wanted to look inside, so went in, was told to remove my baseball cap. so refused and promptly walked out the door. It sure was not a Buddha site to me. missus was well annoyed with me. but hey, my religion not hers. Ps went to one of the kiosks just to the right, bought a beer Chang and waited for her to come out. Always find a Bar, Inn, or Pub next to a church. even in Thailand.

Baerboxer Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 2 hours ago, Stupooey said: No, as any QI aficiando knows. Francis has many official titles (Bishop of Rome, Servant of the servants of God etc.) but "Pope" is not one of them. That title is reserved for the leader of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, currently Pope Tawadros II. So the answer to the perennial question "Is the Pope a Catholic?" is a resounding "No". As for whether polar bears shit in the woods, that is a different question entirely. Polar bears - woods - shit: You might want to think about that sentence.

Then accompanied by the numerous Catholic shirt lifters in his entourage there will be a tour of Boyztown followed by an inspection of Soi 6 bars searching for underage girls on the advice no doubt of a local Monk , an expert into that sort of thing. He may have been planning on meeting the PM but suspect that this will not happen due to him always wearing a white dress with that stupid hat so hence Prayut would be frightened of him only being a ghost. ????

The high school in Chanthaburi city has less than 100 Catholics in its 1500 pupils, a higher standard of education is the attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mainly refugees and their descendants who fled Vietnam during the war years there. They are now nationalised Thais. The small town of Ban Don Chiang, on the north shore of Nong Han lake is almost entirely Roman Catholic. Ban Don Chiang , a very relaxing place , to visit .
