The Pattaya Orphanage was founded in the early 1970's by Bishop Lawrence Thienchai Samanchit of the Diocese of Chanthaburi , Fr. Ray Brennan C.Ss.R. and a group of Vietnam War Veterans from USA.

From those humble beginnings, the Orphanage is now home to over 200 babies, toddlers, and school age children as well as college and university students.
