Bang Luang Mosque
มัสยิดบางหลวง (กุฎีขาว)
The white mosque built in Thai temple form in 1785 — the third faith in Kudi Chin's three-religions walk.
The white Ayutthaya-style mosque on Khlong Bang Luang — built in Thonburi's canal age, its prayer hall shaped like an ordination hall. Unique in Thailand.

Visiting a temple
- Shoulders and knees covered, for everyone. Sarongs are usually available at the gate, sometimes for a small deposit.
- Shoes come off before you step into an ordination hall — watch what everyone else is doing at the threshold.
- Most compounds open early, around 08:00, and close by 17:00–18:00; the major ones charge foreign visitors a small entry fee.
- Early morning is cooler, quieter and far better light than midday.
Check current entry fee and today's closing time when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
