Nu Run Itsalam mosque, mosque in Nonthaburi province, Thailand
Nu Run Itsalam is a wooden mosque in Lahan, Nonthaburi, built on high stilts that lift it above the ground in a distinctive way. The structure features a pointed roof covered with corrugated metal and continues to function as both a prayer house and community gathering space.
Families from southern Thailand, including the Seya and Salah clans, settled in this low-lying area near Canal Lamri many years ago. They first built a simple wooden prayer room which was later expanded in stages with concrete and steel to serve the growing community.
The name means 'the glow of peace' and reflects the role this prayer house holds in the community. The mosque serves as a gathering place where people come to pray and take part in religious courses, especially during Ramadan.
The building is easy to spot for visitors because of its distinctive stilt construction, especially since it sits near Canal Lamri. Those visiting should wear respectful clothing and check ahead about prayer times and any events taking place.
The mosque runs its own school for religious and general subjects, teaching students in a way that lets them continue their education at higher levels or abroad. This blend of prayer and schooling makes the place serve more than just religious purposes.
