The church in the name of the Holy Royal Martyrs, belonging to the Thai Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, is located in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, Thailand.
Thanks to the support of patrons and concerned individuals, it was decided to acquire a small plot of land in the city center (64/172, Tambon Nong Kae, Soi 102, Amphoe Hua Hin, Chang Wat Prachuap Khiri Khan). The project for the temple was initially developed in Russia.
In August 2013, after the completion of the Ascension of the Lord Church on Koh Samui, a team of Thai builders who worked there was sent to Hua Hin to carry out land and other works.
On October 14, 2013, the city authorities of Hua Hin, after reviewing the project documentation, issued a permit for the construction of the Orthodox church in the name of the Holy Royal Martyrs.
On February 7, 2014, Archbishop Mark (Golovkov) of Yegoryevsk, head of the Moscow Patriarchate's Department for External Church Relations, visited the construction site in Thailand and conducted the consecration of the church foundation. By that time, the Russian community in Hua Hin numbered about 300 people.
From August 6 to 9, 2014, Archimandrite Oleg (Cherepanin) visited the construction site to assess the progress of the work. He ordered the ground level on the church premises to be raised by 1.2 meters and approved the decision of the Orthodox Church Foundation Committee in Thailand to allocate an additional 1,800,000 Thai baht for these works.
On September 3, 2014, Priest Daniel Vanna, chairman of the Orthodox Church Foundation Committee in Thailand, visited the construction site to familiarize himself with the progress of the construction and finishing works. He conducted a briefing for the construction crew on interior finishing and signed a contract for the installation of air conditioning in the church and residential premises. The interior decoration of the church features royal embellishments on the upper parts of the concrete columns and furniture in Thai style.
