Khlong Takhian Muslim Community

This ancient canal area during the Ayutthaya era, was home to significant Cham and Malay Muslim communities, who formed part of a broader Muslim presence in the city. These Muslim inhabitants were broadly divided into three groups: Indo-Malay Sunnis living outside the city walls, Sunni Muslims from the western Islamic world, and an Indo-Iranian Shiʿite group residing within the city’s core. Possessing important ferry landings and naval dockyards, became an integrated Muslim administrative and residential zone closely tied to Ayutthaya’s naval, trade, and administration.
