Aonang Al-Munuawarah Mosque — Attraction in Krabi Province

I had to leave my friend at the local Medical Centre for treatment for swelling on the ankles. It was Maghreb time. Found the mosque with Google maps showing 11 mins walk. What a beautifully constructed building that could bed seen from a distance, quite stunning. The minarets had scaffolding on them so clearly some refurbishment work going on. Separate entrance for men and women made easy enough. The ablution area was clean and tidy. Marble cool floors with the odd ant crawling across during sajjood.

Talking of ants, if you don’t like the call for prayers on loud speakers, find yourselves another location to stay, don’t eat the local food that’s all halal, your hotel is being maintained probably by Muslims.

Krabi is such a beautiful place why wouldn’t you want to wake up as early as possible to enjoy the full day ahead...

Krabi is a Muslim province with a majority of Thai locals with islamic religion's obligations. The Mosque is free to call prayers with loud speakers at anytime of the day or the night. Visitors complaining about sounds from mosques are not welcome in Krabi. Learning about your destination is the most important part of traveling. Do your own research or leave without bad reviews...
