Chakraphong Mosque, Mosque in Chana Songkhram, Thailand
The three-story yellow concrete structure of Chakraphong Mosque stands prominently near the Grand Palace and royal field of Sanam Luang in Bangkok.
The mosque dates back to the reign of King Rama I, constructed by Pattani Muslims who were brought to Bangkok as war captives in the early Rattanakosin period.
The building exhibits Persian and Arab architectural influences, featuring multicolored glass windows and geometric wood paneling throughout its prayer halls and corridors.
The mosque holds five daily prayer sessions and maintains regular opening hours, with separate entrance areas designated for men and women visitors.
Former war captives who built this mosque became skilled craftsmen, producing decorative objects and regalia for royal ceremonies in the Thai court.
