Bangkok Christian Hospital

The Bangkok Christian Hospital (Thai: โรงพยาบาลกรุงเทพคริสเตียน) is one of the oldest general hospitals in Bangkok, Thailand. Situated on Silom Road, Bang Rak District. History The first Christian missionaries arriving in Thailand in the 19th century often combined preaching with medical help for the local population. They considered medical healing as part of their mission, as Jesus had commanded them to "Heal the Sick". In 1840 the Presbyterian Mission was established in Bangkok and expanded its offices over the country for evangelism together with the healing mission. Initially, clinics were set up which gradually developed into better equipped hospitals. After the Second World War, the American Presbyterian Mission and the Church of Christ in Thailand purchased a land between Silom Road and Surawong Road with several wooden buildings. After renovation, the buildings were officially inaugurated as the Bangkok Christian Hospital in 1949. A new Outpatient Department of the hospital was opened in 1957 with dentistry, laboratory, and pharmacy facilities along with a chapel. A few years later, an operating building (1961) and the Inpatient Department (1965) was added. In the 1970s, an office building in honour of the "Church of Christ in Thailand", was constructed on Surawong Road, and the 13-storey "Mo Bradley Building", named after the pioneer missionary and doctor Dr. Dan Beach Bradley in Thailand, was completed in 1981. The 17-storey "Mo Welles Building" was completed in 2006, named after the first director of the hospital, Marshall Phillip Welles. It received hospital accreditation since 2013. Mission At present The Bangkok Christian Hospital has special centers (International Refractive Center, Skin care & laser Center, Health Screening Center, Dental Care Center) and specialized departments (internal medicine, ophthalmology, ear, nose and throat, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, orthopedics, surgery, radiology, anesthesiology). Besides medical care it provides pastoral care with its same name division. The hospital is considered to be good and much cheaper than other similar quality hospitals by the expatriate community in Thailand.

Hospital cristiano de Bangkok

El Hospital cristiano de Bangkok (en tailandés: โรงพยาบาลกรุงเทพคริสเตียน) es uno de los hospitales generales más antiguos de Bangkok, Tailandia.​ Está situado en la vía Silom, distrito de Bangrak . Los primeros misioneros cristianos que llegaron a Tailandia en el siglo XIX a menudo combinaban la predicación con ayuda médica para la población local. A su juicio, la curación médica era parte de su misión, tal como Jesús les había mandado a "sanar a los enfermos". En 1840 la Misión Presbiteriana fue establecida en Bangkok y amplió sus oficinas en el país para la evangelización, junto con la misión de sanación. Inicialmente, las clínicas que se establecieron poco a poco se convirtieron en hospitales mejores equipados. Después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la Misión Presbiteriana estadounidense y la Iglesia de Cristo de Tailandia compraron un terreno entre la calle Silom y la calle Surawong con varios edificios de madera. Después de la renovación, los edificios se inauguraron oficialmente como el Hospital Cristiano de Bangkok en 1949. Véase también Sanidad Hospital católico romano de Windhoek Referencias

Bangkok Protestant Cemetery

The Bangkok Protestant Cemetery is a cemetery catering mainly to the foreign community in Bangkok. To date, the cemetery has over 1800 interments (around 1100 names are legible on extant gravestones and memorials), and it is still accepting burials on a limited basis. The burial register is kept by Christ Church Bangkok (11 Convent Road). There are also a number of Jewish graves here, since before 1997 there was no other place in the city for the small Jewish community to bury their dead. This changed with the opening of the Jewish Cemetery, in a separate property adjacent to this cemetery. History The Bangkok Protestant Cemetery was founded by a royal land grant given by King Mongkut on 29 July 1853, to address the need for burial space for Bangkok's growing Protestant community. Location The cemetery is located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River just south of the Menam Riverside Hotel, and 1.75 km south of the Saphan Taksin BTS station along Charoen Krung Road. It is very close to the Asiatique night market. Notable Interments Dan Beach Bradley – medical doctor and missionary John Taylor Jones – missionary Eliza Grew Jones – missionary and wife of J. T.

Cementerio protestante (Bangkok)

El Cementerio protestante de Bangkok​ es un cementerio destinado principalmente a la comunidad extranjera protestante en Bangkok, Tailandia. Hasta la fecha, el cementerio cuenta con más de 1.800 sepulturas, y todavía está aceptando nuevos entierros en forma limitada. El registro de sepultura es mantenido por la Iglesia de Cristo de Bangkok (Vía Convento 11). También hay una serie de tumbas judías aquí, ya que antes de 1997 no había ningún otro lugar en la ciudad para que la pequeña comunidad judía local enterrara a sus muertos. Esto cambió con la apertura del cementerio judío, en una propiedad independiente adyacente a este cementerio. El cementerio protestante de Bangkok fue fundado por una concesión de tierra real dada por el rey Mongkut el 29 de julio de 1853, para hacer frente a la necesidad de espacio para entierros para la creciente comunidad protestante de Bangkok.

Anantasamakhom-Thronhalle

Die Anantasamakhom-Thronhalle (Thai พระที่นั่งอนันตสมาคม – Aussprache: [pʰráʔ tʰîː nâŋ ʔàʔnantàʔsàʔmaːkʰom], auch Ananta-Samakhom- oder Ananda-Samakhom-Thronhalle) ist eine Thron- und Empfangshalle im Palast- und Regierungsviertel Dusit in Bangkok. Sie ist Teil des Dusit-Palastes. Der Bau im Stil der europäischen Renaissance und Neoklassik wurde 1908 von König Chulalongkorn (Rama V.) in Auftrag gegeben, um auch im Dusit-Palast Audienzen wie in der Amarin-Winichai-Thronhalle des Großen Palastes abhalten zu können. Als Namen wählte er „Phra Thi Nang Anantasamakhom“ (Ananta-Samakhom-Thronhalle) nach einer Thronhalle des Großen Palastes, die abgerissen werden musste. Die Grundsteinlegung erfolgte am 19. November 1908 zum 40. Thronjubiläum des Königs. Vollendet wurde die Thronhalle erst 1915 unter Chulalongkorns Nachfolger König Vajiravudh (Rama VI.). Das Gebäude misst 49,5 Meter in der Breite, 112,5 Meter in der Länge und 47,5 Meter in der Höhe und wird von der großen mittleren Kuppel beherrscht, die Fassade ist mit Carrara-Marmor verkleidet. In der Baukommission waren, neben den zwei thailändischen Bauleitern Chao Phraya Yommaraj (Pan Sukhum) und Phraya Prachakorn Kitvijarn (O Amatayakul), nur italienische Künstler vertreten: die beiden Architekten Mario Tamagno und Annibale Rigotti, der Assistent Carlo Allegri, der Ingenieur E.G. Gallo sowie die beiden Maler Galileo Chini und C. Riguli. Auf den Gemälden im Inneren sind Großtaten der (bis dahin) sechs Herrscher der Chakri-Dynastie dargestellt. Von der „Siamesischen Revolution“ 1932, die den Übergang zur konstitutionellen Monarchie brachte, bis zur Eröffnung des neuen Parlamentsgebäudes 1974, war die Anantasamakhom-Thronhalle Sitzungsort der thailändischen Nationalversammlung. Danach fanden dort noch die feierlichen Eröffnungssitzungen einer neuen Legislaturperiode statt. Teile des Palastgebäudes waren bis zur dauerhaften Schließung 2017 als Museum zugänglich.

Salão do Trono Ananda Samakhom

. O Salão do Trono Ananta Samakhom (em tailandês: พระที่นั่ง อนันต สมาคม; Phra Thinang Anantasamakhom) é um hall de recepção real dentro Palácio de Dusit, em Bangkok, capital da Tailândia. Foi encomendado pelo rei Chulalongkorn (Rama V) em 1908. O edifício foi concluído em 1915, 5 anos após a morte de Rama V em 1910.

O salão está aberto ao público todos os dias, excepto no Dia Chulalongkorn (23 de outubro), no aniversário do Rei (5 de dezembro) e no aniversário da rainha (12 de agosto). História Um ano após a conclusão da Mansão Amphorn Satharn dentro do Palácio de Dusit em 1906, o rei Chulalongkorn (Rama V) encomendou a construção de um salão de recepção para substituir aquele construído durante o reinado do rei Mongkut (Rama IV.). O edifício no estilo do renascimento italiano e neoclássico foi contratado para os arquitetos Mario Tamagno e Annibale Rigotti. Mármore de Carrara e outros materiais italianos foram usados. O escultor italiano Vittorio Novi, que mais tarde também trabalhou na Ponte Udthit Mahadthai (สะพาน มหาดไทย อุทิศ), foi empregado com o seu sobrinho Rudolfo Nolli. Foi usado como a sede dos Partido do Povo durante quatro dias na Revolução de 1932, que transformou o sistema político do país a partir de uma monarquia absoluta para uma constitucional. A primeira Assembléia Nacional Popular, convocada em 28 de Junho de 1932, deu-se no presente salão do trono. Depois disso, ele foi usado como a Casa do Parlamento até 1974, quando a nova Casa do Parlamento foi aberta ao norte. No entanto, a antiga Casa do Parlamento continua a ser utilizada, marcando a primeira assembléia em consequência de uma eleição geral para a Câmara dos Representantes. Referências
