I am posting this on behalf of my best friend. He will be in Pattaya in January next year for about ten days. During his stay, he will need to go to a church on Sunday. It is much appreciated if you could help by providing the address (and possibly, the telephone number) of any Roman Catholic churches in Pattaya. Thanks in advance.

Errm, I think that should be Patron Saint.

So if St Nikolaus is the Patron Saint of Travellers, what or who is St Christopher the Patron Saint of?

St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers. St. Nicholas is the patron saint of children...If I am not mistaken.

That was my understanding too, pluto.

Me too. Think of Christmas. Think of all the St Christopher medals that travellers wear like lucky charms...

I never understand how Pattaya can attract devout religoious people, cristians or muslims ... don't their religion tell them this place is he11?

Resurecting this thread after 2 1/2 years. I have been at Mass in St Nickolaus church on 2 occassions in the last couple of years over many visits to Pattaya. Apart from an increasingly elastic conscience the problem I have is the difficulty of getting a bathbus on Pattaya Klang. Okay going there but on return down Pattaya Klang great difficulty. Last Christmas ended up walking down to Beach Road. Nice walk in a moderate climate but in Pattaya: Sweatsville.

On my next trip I will be staying in Jomtien. Is it feasible to get a regular bathbus up Thepprasit Road and another on Sukhumvit Road to the Church returning by the same method.? Any observations would be most welcome.

saint nicholas church,Sukhumvit road.145 kilometer post,near the traffic light of central pattaya...

the english mass start at 8 to 9am-4 to 5pm

Saint-Nikolaus Church in Pattaya is actually named after Sankt Niklaus von Flüe (1417-1487), a layman, the Patron of Switzerland.

It is not the same person as the better known Saint Nicholas of Myra (270-346), a bishop, Patron of the children, the sailors, Amsterdam, Russia, etc., who is supposed to bring toys and sweets to children in the Benelux countries and parts of Germany on 6^th December.

In the States, Saint Nicholas of Myra was mixed up with the English Father Christmas to become Santa Claus.

If I understand well, also Anglican and Episcopal burials in Pattaya are organized in the (Roman Catholic) Saint-Nikolaus Church.

Maybe you can ,but why on earth would you want to .

hopefully he will be praying for and not preying on the sinners of Pattaya.

Do you know what Irish Mother's were like? I do not want to be struck by lightning walking down the street. If I started praying for the sinners of Pattaya especially myself I would spend my entire holiday in the church.
