Christmas in Bangkok
 

We are interested in attending midnight Mass this year in Bangkok. Any suggestions for a church? We're staying at the President Solitaire. Thanks!

what denomination?

HT - midnight "mass" is usually celebrated by those who are Roman Catholic. Protestants call it "holy communion". Most other denominations don't celebrate Christmas.

Sorry, I should have said-Roman Catholic. Thanks

I grew up in the Episcopal church and we always called the Christmas service midnight mass, even though it was of course not a mass, but holy communion.

Guess Midnight mass justs sounds better. As a matter of fact, it wasn't even at midnight, but at 11pm. ((G))

Lucy, I also grew up in the Episcopal Church but when I saw "midnight mass" used in the generic sense as it was here, I just assumed (correctly) that it was a Roman Catholic poster. BTW, our service was held at 11:30 pm and yes, some called it "midnight mass". :->

There is a Catholic church near the river, a short walk from River City. Sorry, I don't know where the President Solitare is, so don't know whether that would be convenient.

the hotel is on soi 11, sukhumvit....

there is a cathedral, as mentioned above, on oriental lane, just across the street from the oriental hotel....we walked through there one day and heard the kids choir rehersing and they were very good...

Holy Redeemer Church is a large Catholic church on 123/19 Soi Ruam Rudi, off of Wireless Rd. They have Thai and English masses. I'm not sure about a midnight mass on Christmas.

Thanks so much for your help! I enjoy this forum because it is so active and has reliable information.

Yes,a famous church at soi roumrudee on wireless road.Have you plan for a great night,yet?If you would like to share a wonderful time at BKK,at bangkok_scenery@yahoo.
