Bang Luang Mosque, Historic mosque in Wat Kanlaya, Thailand

Description

Bang Luang Mosque is a historic place of worship in Wat Kanlaya featuring three tiers of architectural elements painted in white. The structure extends about 24 meters in length, 12 meters in width, and 16 meters in height.

History

This place of worship was founded around 1785 during King Rama I's reign by To Yi, a Muslim merchant, and marks an early moment in Thailand's Rattanakosin period. Its creation reflects the importance of trade and the Muslim community during that era.

Culture

The mosque brings together Thai, Chinese, and European building styles in one space, creating a place where different artistic traditions meet within a religious setting. You can see this cultural blend in the details of the facade and how the interior spaces are arranged.

Practical

The place of worship is located on Soi Arun Amarin 7 along New Arun Amarin Road and sits close to the Chao Phraya River where it is easily accessible. The area is walkable and other religious sites are nearby.

Did you know?

Tombs are located in the front section of the structure, making it serve as a burial place with spiritual significance for visitors. This feature sets it apart from many other religious sites in the area.
