Ton Son Mosque

The ancient mosque was founded in the Ayutthaya era during the reign of King Narai in 1688 by Chao Phraya Ratchawangsanseni (Mahmud).

Worshippers in the Bangkok Yai area renovated it and changed the old structure to brick building during the reign of King Rama II.

The twin pine tree (Ton Son) was planted in front of the gate of the mosque's wall since the reign of King Rama III.

Ton Son Mosque not only functions as a religious ground, but it also features ancient remains and relics that are worth seeing.

Inside the mosque is the beautiful pulpit, called Mimbun, which has large pictures of Arabic calligraphy, a picture of the Kaaba and the plan of the mosque in Mecca, all using forms found in the period of King Taksin of Thonburi Kingdom.
