Historical Roots of Islam in Bangkok

Thailand is mostly discussed for its vibrant colours, party scenes, backpackers, and ladyboys, but very few people know that the largest religious minority in Thailand is Muslims.
Muslim population in Thailand lives in provinces Pattani, Satun, Yala, and Narathiwat. The Arab traders travelled to the Malay peninsula in Thailand in the 13th century, and from then onwards, Muslim regions were found there.
While many Muslims are making their way to Bangkok to seek better lives and living opportunities, many Muslims from other parts of the world plan their vacation to Bangkok to explore the culture and traditions of Thailand.

Mosques in Bangkok

Bangkok is filled with architectural marvels that contribute immensely to the country’s rich heritage. Mosques, the pure places of Muslim worship, not only cater to the spiritual needs of Muslims but also showcase incredible craftsmanship and cultural significance.
1. Al Hussein Mosque
As a mosque that has been around for more than 300 years, it is also known as the 300 Years Mosque. It is one of the oldest mosques in Thailand and is used by the majority of the Muslim community in Thailand.
The mosque is popular because of its construction, as it was built in Chinese style with wood from ironwood trees and hummingbird trees.
2. The Foundation of Islamic Centre
One of the largest mosques built in Thailand is The Foundation of Islamic Centre. It is built over 16,000 sq. meters and can accommodate more than 300 people at a time.
In addition, the mosque was constructed in 1984 with a unique and special architectural design, which is a special attraction for Muslims.
3. Ban Oou Mosque
Built in the 1940s, Ban Oou Mosque is one of the oldest constructed mosques in Bangkok, Thailand. The mosque attracts tourists by preserving the antiques, including a frame drum and an old daf.
The Fame Drum, an approximately century-old relic, served as a means to gather and announce worship times for the community throughout the day.
4. Haroon Mosque
One of the most beautiful mosques in Thailand, built in the 1800s, is Haroon Mosque. The mosque consists of 2 halls which can accommodate approximately 3000 people together. The mosque has a library, office premises, food hall, and bookstore. Apart from serving the Muslim community, another motive for this mosque is to educate non-Muslim communities about Islam and create a peaceful environment for everyone.
5. Ban Luang Mosque
In the 1780s, a mosque specifically built for the Thai Muslims called Ban Luang Mosque. It is also known as Kudi Khao. The reason behind its popularity is that it is the only mosque in Thailand built in traditional Thai style. It is made up of concrete and bricks.
Muslims worldwide should not miss a chance to visit this place as its design is considered the perfect blend of Thai and Islamic art.
