The '''Ton Son Mosque''' ({{langx|th|มัสยิดต้นสน}}, {{Literal translation|the Pine Tree Mosque}}) is a historic [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] [[mosque]], located on the left bank of [[Khlong Bangkok Yai]] canal, [[Wat Arun Subdistrict]], [[Bangkok Yai District]] of [[Bangkok]], in [[Thonburi]], [[Thailand]]. The mosque is situated opposite the [[Wat Moli Lokayaram]] temple, and across the canal is [[Bang Luang Mosque]].
== Overview == The ancient mosque was founded in the [[Ayutthaya era]] during the reign of [[King Narai]] in 1688 by Chao Phraya Ratchawangsanseni (Mahmud). It is considered the oldest mosque in Bangkok and Thailand. The first name was called "Kudi Yai" (กุฎีใหญ่), an abbreviation of "Kudi Bangkok Yai" (กุฎีบางกอกใหญ่). It was originally a teak house raised on a platform and roofed with terracotta tiles. The form of the architecture is similar to the hall in Buddhist monasteries. Worshippers in the Bangkok Yai area renovated it and changed the old structure to brick building during the reign of [[King Rama II]]. In 1952, the new building was transformed into a reinforced concrete building since the former architecture was too old to be rebuilt. 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]]. And the name was officially changed to Ton Son Mosque.
Ton Son Mosque not only functions as a religious ground, but it also features ancient remains and relics that are worth seeing. At the outside of the building lies a graveyard of the chiefs of the Muslims in Thailand. 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]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://mgronline.com/travel/detail/9520000070828|work=[[Manager Daily]]|language=thai|date=23 June 2009|author=หนุ่มลูกทุ่ง|title="มัสยิดต้นสน" ชุมชนอิสลามเก่าแก่ในบางกอก}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sarakadee.com/2015/08/14/susan-musyid/|title=สุสานมัสยิดต้นสน : โดดเด่นในความโดดเดี่ยว|date=14 August 2015|language=thai|work=Sarakadee Magazine|first=ปวีณา|last= ห้อยกรุด}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sarakadee.com/2015/08/18/kudicharoenpasn-tonson/|language=thai|title=กุฎีเจริญพาศน์และมัสยิดต้นสน : โรงเรียนกวดศรัทธาของบรรดามุสลิมรุ่นเยาว์|date=15 August 2018|work=Sarakadee Magazine|first=สุภาวดี|last= เจ๊ะหมวก}}</ref>
