September 2009
In 2009 it was my last year in medical school. I was assigned to be a medical student at a primary hospital in a rural area in the province of Chachoengsao. I did my medical practice under supervision of senior doctors.
Living and working at that hospital was easy. I had my own private doctor room to live in , and lots of cheap good food around in the morning while the hospital prepared lunch and dinner everyday.
By that time I was looking for a nearby Catholic church to attend a mass and found one in a website of the Bangkok diocese and the information was outdated and left unattended.
If you had ever heard of the yellow pages , that was what the information of the church looked like. The details were very short and useless. The phone number was outdated
I had to guess which way to go for that time google map wasn’t on our hands like the present day.
Imagine what happened in 2009
You drove a car 10 kilometres away from your home , venturing deep into the forest where you had never been before was quite challenging. Furthermore in Thailand , the 3G phone mobile data wasn’t settled yet. So I had no online navigation at all.
Along the way , there were gradually transition between a forest and a field into small rural community with a church signs. That was a relief at least I didn’t have to sleep in the middle of the forest that night.
These 2 pictures were what you saw along your way to do your quest finding a church.
In the middle of the forest , the serene catholic church stood in the middle of this forest.
You are surrounded by a forest , green trees everywhere around you. Birds tweeting. Serenity

Interior of the church is simple decorated

The statues of St.Anne and Mother Mary. Thai words mean “St.Anne , pray for us”
