The Catholic Church

This church is, according to several sources, the largest building of its kind in Thailand.  By foot, you can get to the church by walking down the Chanthaboon Waterfront in the old town and taking the footbridge over the river.  There are plenty of signs so it's not hard to find.  A missionary chapel was first built here in 1711 and travel guides say there have been four reconstructions.  It's a DIY job I don't fancy! 

Seriously though, it is a beautiful building and the inside is cool and peaceful and, to me, represent a bit of western culture in an eastern society.  The fourteen stations of the cross are beautifully represented (just can't shake that catholic school-girl upbringing, even though the family aren't catholic!) and there is a statue of Mary which is done in the most exquisite silver and gems. 

Sadly, the photos did not do the statue justice so you'll just have to take my word for it.  This place is definitely worth a visit.
