St. Margarita Chapel at Holy Redeemer

Bangkok, Thailand

Holy Redeemer Catholic Church is one of the most well-known and most beautiful churches in all of Thailand due to its unique design which combines Thai Buddhist temple architecture with Roman Catholic traditions.

Hidden away in a small open-air room in an area behind the church is the St. Margarita Chapel, a quiet, unassuming, and unpresumptuous chapel. It's a place of peace in the heart of a hectic and busy world city.

The chapel is an open-air space with an altar, a few pews, and some fans to help fight off the oppressive tropical heat.
