Masjid Chakraphong

Established during King Rama I’s reign, it was built by Pattani Muslim war captives who later served as goldsmiths in the royal court. Originally a wooden structure, it has since been rebuilt into a distinctive three-story yellow concrete building combining Persian and Arabic design elements—such as vibrant stained-glass windows and geometric woodwork. Though modest in scale and hidden down a narrow walkway, the mosque remains an active Sunni worship center and a peaceful cultural refuge within Bangkok’s bustling old city.
