**Bang Luang Mosque** ([Thai](/source/Thai_language): มัสยิดบางหลวง, [RTGS](/source/Royal_Thai_General_System_of_Transcription): **Matsayit Bang Luang**, pronounced [\[mát.sà(ʔ).jìt.bāːŋ.lǔaŋ\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Thai)) is a historic [mosque](/source/Mosque), located in Soi Arun Amarin 7, New Arun Amarin Road, Wat Kanlaya Subdistrict, [Thon Buri District](/source/Thon_Buri_District), of [Bangkok](/source/Bangkok). The mosque is situated on the [Thonburi](/source/Thonburi) side within Kudi Khao Community by the [Khlong Bangkok Yai](/source/Khlong_Bangkok_Yai) (formerly Khlong Bang Luang) near mouth of [Chao Phraya River](/source/Chao_Phraya_River). The mosque is also known as **Kudi Khao** (กุฎีขาว, lit. 'white cloister') and **Kudi To Yi** (กุฎีโต๊ะหยี, lit. 'To Yi's cloister').

## Overview

This mosque was built in the early [Rattanakosin](/source/Rattanakosin) period (c. 1784 [CE](/source/Common_Era)) during the reign of King [Phutthayotfa Chulalok](/source/Phutthayotfa_Chulalok) (Rama I) by a Muslim merchant named "To Yi" (โต๊ะหยี).

The mosque is decorated with Thai brick and painted in white color, which gave the mosque its name. It is the only Thai-style mosque in the world, decorated with three-tiered art including [Thai](/source/Thai_architecture), [Chinese](/source/Chinese_architecture) and European. There's embodiment of the spirit of the goddess reflecting the devotion of [Allah](/source/Allah). Furthermore, they're tombs located in front of the mosque and the mosque is now being classified as “Unseen in Bangkok” tourist destination.[1][2]

Bang Luang Mosque is located not far from other [houses of worship](/source/Houses_of_worship), including [Wat Prayurawongsawat](/source/Wat_Prayurawongsawat), [Wat Kalayanamitr](/source/Wat_Kalayanamitr), [Santa Cruz Church](/source/Santa_Cruz_Church%2C_Bangkok) and [Kian Un Keng Shrine](/source/Kian_Un_Keng_Shrine). Opposite the old mosque stands another important one, [Tonson Mosque](/source/Tonson_Mosque).[3]
