The mosque, which covers an area of ​​3 rai and 55 square wah, is also known as "Thailand's Taj Mahal." It is considered the most beautiful mosque in Thailand. The foundation stone was laid in 1954 by Police General Phao Sriyanon, then Minister of the Interior, on July 6, 1957. Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat consecrated the mosque on May 25, 1963. It was named the "Central Mosque of Pattani." The government, recognizing the importance of Islam, to which the majority of Pattani's inhabitants adhere, deemed the construction of a large mosque appropriate.

The Central Mosque of Pattani is today an important religious center and the venue for the five daily prayers, including the Friday prayer and the Lunar New Year prayer. Numerous Thai Muslims from Pattani, as well as Muslims from other regions of Thailand and abroad, attend the mosque. Dhamma talks, which deepen the knowledge and understanding of religious principles, are held particularly on Fridays and Saturdays. Many worshippers participate in these talks to ensure the correct performance of religious practices.

Visiting hours: Open daily from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.

Fridays are an exception, as that is when the weekly prayer takes place. Please dress appropriately.
