Darul Aman Mosque — Attraction in Thung Phaya Thai Subdistrict

Being in bangkok where the majority of people are Buddhist, this masjid is a place where you can truly feel "at home". The architecture is simple, spacy and comfortable, with places to hang out nearby after the prayer, especially during the short period between Maghrib and Isya.

With spacey back "lobby" where you can sit around or reading qur'an, discuss things and kids to run around in, you can do whatever you need to here. There's also a cold drinking water tap to satiate your thirst of water that you can enjoy for free. The people nearby are also very friendly and accommodating, and especially for Indonesian like me, it feels a bit more like home with the immense number of Indonesian, Malaysian and Southern Thai people living nearby, making Malay/Indonesian to be one of the main language spoken in the neighborhood.

What I like the most is actually around the mosque. If you ever find difficulty locating halal food in Bangkok. then this is a must visit place. Tons of halal street food, small food stalls and restaurants are spread out here. All along the Soi 7 (Soi means alley in Thai), every single food stall is halal food, making it a safe haven for hungry moslems. My personal favorite is the "kao tom", rice soup with sliced chicken, and opposite the kao tom is a meat soup with noodle (I can't remember the name, but it was super delicious). If you happen to be around in the evening, don't forget to get a clear bone soup in a small restaurant called "Krua Pattani". by the way, the fried rice there is a killer as well.

Getting a short stop for those hungry moslems, or staying there long-term for the moslem settlers, there aren't many places better than this area. It gives you a "home", a place where you leave...

My wife and I were on a business trip to Bangkok and had the opportunity to celebrate our first day of Ramadhan here. We chose to stay in this area specifically to experience the atmosphere, and it turned out to be a great decision.

Located along Halal Street in Ratchathewi, Darul Aman Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Bangkok. While the design is simple and shows its age, renovations and rebuilding efforts have kept it comfortable and well-maintained. The mosque is easy to find and is surrounded by many Halal restaurants and eateries, making it a convenient spot for Muslim travelers.

We attended Isya and Tarawih prayers on Saturday night, and it was a special experience—my first time performing Tarawih in Bangkok. I also had the chance to perform Friday prayers here, and I noticed that the local community is warm and welcoming. Many attendees are from Southern Thailand, and some even speak Bahasa, which made interactions easier for us as Malaysians.

Overall, a peaceful and spiritual place to pray, especially for Muslim visitors looking for a welcoming community in Bangkok. Would definitely recommend stopping by if you’re...

I recently attended Iftari at Darul Aman Mosque with a friend, and while I appreciated the hospitality and the opportunity to break fast in a communal setting, I was disappointed by the unequal treatment of men and women.

Men were served buffet-style with a variety of food, while women received only pre-packed food boxes. Even basic items like fruit and dessert were insufficient for the women’s section. While I understand the need for separate dining spaces, the significant difference in food quantity and quality felt unfair.

I hope the organizers consider making improvements to ensure all attendees, regardless of gender, receive the same level of care and generosity during Iftari. Everyone comes to the mosque to share in the spirit of Ramadan, and equality in hospitality would make the experience more...
