Today Prayer Times in Thailand

If you are traveling to Thailand or moving there and looking out for the correct prayer times, you are at the right place. Muslim and Quran provide the most accurate Islamic prayer times in Thailand, so you don't have to miss or delay your salah. Islam has made it obligatory for men and women to pray five times daily salah, each at a specific time.

Fajr is the first salah that is offered before sunset, Zuhr is the afternoon salah, Asr is offered in late afternoon, Maghreb as soon as the sun sets, and the last one is Isha, which is offered when it is completely dark. There are other voluntary salah as well, but these five times salah are the foundation of Islamic principles and are the identity of a Muslim.

Thailand Cities with Muslim Population

Thailand is a famous country situated in Southeast Asia and is a tourist attraction where people come from all over the world. It shares its borders with Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, and Malaysia. Thailand has around 71 million people living there, and Muslims make up around 7% of the total population. After Buddhism, Islam is the second most followed religion in Thailand, where all the Thai Muslims are mainly of Malay descent. Small groups of Thai, Chinese, and Muslims from the Subcontinent are also in different parts of the country.

Muslims live across Thailand but mostly live in cities that are near the border of Malaysia:

  • Bangkok is the capital of Thailand and has a diverse religious population. There are both Thai Muslims and immigrants from other places. A large number of Muslims live as a community and have several mosques to worship in.
  • Pattani, which is a city in Pattani Province, has one of the highest numbers of Muslims living in Thailand, and most of them are Malay Muslims.
  • Yala City in Yala Province has many Muslims living there and is known as the key urban center among Thai Muslims.
  • Narathiwat City is another hub for Muslims, with a large number of Malay Muslims living there.
  • Hat Yui is in Songkhla Province, which has a Buddhist majority, but the Hat Yui city has many Muslims living with the Buddhist community.

Islamic Culture and Heritage in Thailand

Islam arrived in Thailand between the 12th and 14th centuries through Arab, Persian, and Indian traders. Over the years, the Malay descent who lived in the area now called Thailand converted to Islam, including many of the Royal Malay Sultanates. The Malay sultanates in Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat played an important role in spreading Islam to their region and introducing Islamic traditions and culture. Now these areas are known for their large Islamic communities.

Around 3600 mosques in Thailand serve the Muslim community for their worship reasons. The Central Mosque of Songkhla is the largest in Thailand and has a large capacity of approximately 3000 worshippers at a single time.

Wan Muhammad Noor Matha is a notable Muslim leader from Thailand who was a prominent Thai politician and also served as Speaker of the Thai House of Representatives. Imam Yahya Pallakui is also a notable figure in Thailand who was a religious leader known for promoting Islamic education nationwide.
