Lonely Planet review for Church of Santa Cruz

Centuries before Sukhumvit became the international district, the Portuguese claimed fá·ráng (Western) supremacy and built the Church of Santa Cruz in the 1700s. The land was a gift from King Taksin in appreciation for the loyalty the Portuguese community had displayed after the fall of Ayuthaya. The surviving church dates to 1913. Very little activity occurs on the grounds itself, but small village streets break off from the main courtyard into the area known as Kuti Jiin, the local name for the church.
