THE CHURCH COMPOUND

 

The land which had been given by H.M.King Chulalongkorn in 1904 is on the corner of Convent Road/Sathorn Road. An additional strip of land to its north was purchased in December 1918.

The main entrance to the compound is on Convent Road (east side). There is also an entrance from Sathorn North Road. Car parking is available.

To alleviate the problem of flooding, walls of waterproof concrete were built around the compound in 2001, with entry ramps 30 cm above the 50-year flood level.

 

 

 

Li Hall

The Li Hall (church hall) was dedicated in November 2001. There are meeting rooms and offices for the English-speaking and Thai-speaking congregations on upper floors at the rear.

Before the Li Hall had been built, there was a tiled area with a thatched roof for use by the congregations after services.
