Our Lady of the Martyrs of Thailand Shrine, Catholic shrine in Pong Kham, Thailand.
The shrine stands near the Mekong River as the largest Catholic church in Thailand, featuring marble walls and ornate religious decorations throughout its structure.
Seven Catholic martyrs from Songkhon village were executed at this location in December 1940 during a period of heightened tensions in the Franco-Thai War.
The shrine incorporates Thai architectural elements with Catholic religious symbols, reflecting the integration of local and Christian traditions in its design.
Visitors can access the shrine daily, with guided tours available that include the museum, cemetery, and memorial sites dedicated to the martyrs.
Letters written by Sister Agnes and other martyrs before their execution are preserved within the shrine's museum, documenting their final testimonies.
