Holy Trinity Church, Eastern Orthodox church building in Thep Krasatti, Thailand.
Holy Trinity Church is an Eastern Orthodox place of worship in northern Phuket, characterized by white walls and a striking golden onion dome that rises above the surrounding landscape. The interior features extensive gold decorations and religious imagery, including wall-sized depictions of Jesus Christ and various saints throughout the sanctuary.
The church was established in 2011 by the Russian Orthodox Church with support from donations made by the Russian community living in Thailand. The construction reflected the need for a dedicated space where the Orthodox community could gather for spiritual practice and worship.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Russian community and welcomes visitors interested in Orthodox traditions and worship practices. It functions as a spiritual center where people of various backgrounds come to experience the rituals and customs of Eastern Orthodoxy.
The church is located in a rural area surrounded by plantations, so a personal vehicle is the most convenient way to reach it. Visitors should contact the church directly to inquire about service times and visiting conditions for the interior.
Father Danai Wanna, a Thai priest, was the first person from his country to be ordained in the Russian Orthodox Church, creating a unique bridge between local and Russian spiritual traditions. His role at the church represents a remarkable connection between Eastern Orthodox faith and Thai cultural identity.
