Suvarnabhumi airport

If you arrived at Bangkok by airplane for sure you will step on Suvarnabhumi airport. This is the new airport in Bangkok while the old one called Don Muang and it used for domestic flights till the time of posting.

At Suvarnabhumi there is Masjid/Muslim Prayer Room at level 3 near to gate x or just follow the signboard “Muslim Prayer Room”. The room is big with man and woman partition. The Masjid has a place for “Wodow’a” and the toilets are outside of the Prayer room but near to it. This prayer room is air-condition room equipped with MIC and sound system. See the picture.

To go to Bangkok city or the center, you may take taxi or bus. Either way, you will pass through motor way (the highway). On your way, left side, you will pass through two big mosques with very nice architecture and design.

The fist mosque called “I forgot the name”. located on 13°44'5.06"N, 100°40'36.61"E Link to Google Maps




The second one is called “I forgot the name” on Klon Banma. Located on 13°44'10.95"N, 100°39'55.35"E. Link to Google Maps




Theses are not the only two mosques in Bangkok. There are many more will be highlighted in other post.
