Ban Wichayen, Historical ruins in Tha Hin, Thailand.
The Ban Wichayen complex includes a two-story masonry building, a reception hall, and a Catholic church with a belfry near Phra Narai Ratchaniwet.
Constructed in 1685 during King Narai's reign, this residence was built for French envoys led by Chevalier de Chaumont and Constantine Phaulkon.
The architectural design demonstrates the fusion of French and Thai building techniques from the late Ayutthaya kingdom period.
The Department of Fine Arts maintains this National Historic Site, which features original structures including a water tank and cooking areas.
The complex contains one of the earliest Catholic churches in Thailand, marking the beginning of French-Thai diplomatic relations.
