Aka Masjid Bandaraya Kuching is the main mosque in Kuching, Sarawak, which had served as the state mosque before a 🆕 mosque was built in Petra Jaya. Its design is based on the modular modern vernacular typology that was formulated in the 1960s by the Public Works Department (JKR). The current structure was completed in 1968, but its historical background can be traced as far back as in 1840. The mosque’s site is believed to be among the oldest mosques in Kuching & was founded by a local leader appointed by the Brunei Sultanate known as a Pangeran. It existed long before the arrival of the White Rajah of Sarawak, James Brooke. At that time, it was just a rudimentary vernacular structure set on a hill along the banks of the Sarawak River

The location of the mosque is unique as it was built along the banks overlooking the Sarawak River & is also at the edge of the town centre, near many centuries-old shop houses & a commercial area. As the town grew over the years, it became the focal point of the city. It’s truly a city mosque that completes the composition of the fabric of a former colonial town

It was officiated by the-then Sultan of Selangor in 1909, 2️⃣ years after construction was completed & served as the city’s main mosque before Masjid Negara was built. Located at the confluence of Klang River & Gombak River, the mosque stands on the city’s 1️⃣st Malay burial ground. It was designed by Arthur Benison Hubback & features Neo-Moorish architectural style reminiscent of colonial buildings in Northern India 🇮🇳 

Not far from Masjid Jamek across the Gombak River is the equally-historical Sultan Abdul Samad Building, which was designed by the same architect & shares a similar style. Masjid Jamek is a fine example of Islamic architecture in British Malaya that was built in the early 20th century. The design resembles Islamic architecture in northern India, which is used not only for Islamic buildings but also as administrative buildings during the British Colonial era

Amidst Malaysia’s diverse cultural backdrop, these mosques stand tall as captivating embodiments of creativity, faith & unity. With a legacy dating back centuries, these mosques reflect the nation’s multicultural identity & its harmonious blend of architectural styles

Muslims ☪️ ~ Songkhla Central Mosque มัสยิดกลางสงขลา, full name is Didul Islam Central Mosque 🕌

It was built in 2001 with the decoration of elegant architectural & art styles, then as 1️⃣ of the most famous symbolic place of worship & religious significance for Muslims in Hatyai, Thailand 🕌🇹🇭 Not just that, it’s the central Islamic administration of Songkhla which established since 1991 by Mr. Asis Pitakkumpun, the chairman & Islamic committee during that time to provide Songkhla with a central mosque & religious administration in the other southern provinces. In fact all halal related matters for Songkhla Province are managed here by The Central Islamic Affairs Administration of Songkhla

It serves as the center of the Islamic faith in Songkhla with worship facilities, delicate Islamic architecture in its 3️⃣-story building where;

  • G Floor serves as a car park
  • 2️⃣nd Floor serves at the committee’s office
  • 3️⃣rd floor serves as the large prayer hall in white color decorated by glass windows & marble floor. Separate spaces for Muslims males & females 🧕🏼 with a raised pulpit for the Imam, the prayer lead

It has a library & lecture hall for Islamic studies learning. Interested people are welcome to learn about the teachings of Allah

Many foreign & local Thai visitors are here to admire its traditional Thai & symmetry structure. The dome is made of gold plated brass & decorated with intricate calligraphy. The mosque walls are painted in yellow 💛 & blue 💙 beautiful Islamic art

Every Fri, this mosque holds special Jumu’ah prayer which attracts a large crowd of local Thai Muslims. Tourists are welcome to observe this Fri prayer ceremony

When SiennyLovesDrawing arrived, it straightaway impressed to her why the Thai locals has named it as “The Taj Mahal of Thailand” 🇹🇭😍🤩 with its calm peaceful surrounding & tranquil atmosphere

Yes ✅, it’s with majestic architecture, the marble walkways & a crystal-clear reflective pond right in front of the mosque 🕌

The main difference for tourists is here 🇹🇭  can easily captured it with blue sky as compared to the original Taj Mahal India, 1️⃣ of the 7️⃣ wonders of the world 🌏 that very much subjects to its local pollution & weather ☁️ status. Still remembered during her visit to Taj Mahal India 🇮🇳 in more than 🔟 years ago, no blue sky 😔

So this visit to Songkhla Central Mosque 🕌 with beautiful blue sky really made SiennyLovesDrawing felt happy blessed 😁 & recalled her good memories while travelled to Taj Mahal, India many many years ago

Guess what❓⁉️

This is a famous spot for many photographers & many wedding couples 👰🏻‍♀️💍💞🤵🏻‍♂️ to have their pre-wedding shooting here, regardless of whether Muslims or not, wow 😲

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻👀 has viewed this temple 🛕 during her breakfast time at Samila beach ☕🏖️ & requested her tour guide, Khun M 🙋🏽 to stop by for a quick visit & she got to visit it 😁

There is a “Hua Nai Raeng” boulder 🪨 sits on top of the cliff at Khao Kao Seng viewpoint to enjoy the stunning view over looking the gulf of Thailand particularly the Chalalat Beach & Samila Beach 🏖️ & dotted with large boulders. The boulder is considered sacred by Thai locals, so you will observe it with colourful fabrics wrapped around & some offerings placed around it

The Thai locals called it as “Hua Nai Raeng” which believe by Thai locals some unspecified treasure worth THB900K is buried underneath this rock. It also was said that underneath this boulder were used to be treasures stored by the people as funds for the construction of the Nakhon Si Thammarat Chedi & had protecting spirits.

Buddhism ☸️🕉️ ~ Phra Mahathat Chedi Traiphop Traimongkon aka King Bhumipol Temple 🛕

It’s approximately 20mins drive 🚗 from Hatyai city centre to reach it on top of Kho Hong Mountain ⛰️ with a breathtaking day & night view of the surrounding countryside

Highly recommended to visit this world 1️⃣st stainless steel temple whenever you’re at Hatyai, Songkhla 🇹🇭

A special thanks to her tour guide, Khun M 🙏🏻🙋🏽 that managed to insert to her itinerary.  yeah‼️ Her wish comes true to visit to this unique religious structure🛕

It was constructed to honour the Thai King Rama IX & to commemorate the 60th anniversary of his succession to the throne in 2006. The stainless steel chedis are shimmering & then reflecting the sunlight ☀️ during the day time & then looks equally impressive at night when lights up 💡

Ohh ya…Not your phone camera spoilt when you’ve captured this pagoda in green 💚 at night due to the light science reflections from the stainless steel structure & the gold yellow base of this pagoda

This pagoda construction was completed within 160 days since its groundbreaking ceremony on 28 Feb 2006. All parts of the pagoda are made of stainless steel. Its main pagoda is a 32m tall towering stupa with 60 layers of rings encircled with steel railings ornamented with alms bowls & a royal canopy 🛕 

The temple is home to 3️⃣ chedis which were built to house the ashes of 2️⃣ former kings of Thailand, King Chulalongkorn & King Vajiravudh. The chedis are intricately decorated with gold, statues of Buddhist deities & a shrine

According to the Thai Buddhist belief system, there are 8️⃣ days of the week, with Wed divided into 2️⃣ different days ie. Wed morning & Wed night. The base of this pagoda is made of the 8️⃣ birthday doors & birthday Buddha images. Each door in the chedi represents 8️⃣ days of the week (Wed has 2️⃣ doors representing Wed morning & Wed night). Each day has its own Buddha image in different attitudes. According to tour guide, Khun M , visitors supposed to enter & exit from the door based on the day of the week that you were born to pray in this pagoda

4️⃣ bell towers surround the pagoda in 4️⃣ directions. These are bells 🔔 which are supposed to bring good luck 🍀 if ringing them.

Then, visitors can climb the spiral stainless steel stairways to reach the 2️⃣nd floor ie. The core of the structure that houses Buddha relics

Note: Separate spiral stainless steel stairways to go up ⬆️ & come down ⬇️ from the pagoda (As shown by the signage on the wall) to take some photos of the chedi stainless steel structure, as well as make a wish with coin 🪙, then toss inside the alms bowls placed

Suggest to visit it during late afternoon or evening to avoid hot sunny sweating moments & to enjoy both the day view & night view

Before leaving this pagoda, do focus to make a wish while rubbing the big gong placed outside the pagoda

SiennyLovesDrawing 👩🏻 was told that focus & the rubbing on will have gong sound heard if wish will be granted from prayer done. She has tried personally, however just a mild gong sound as she wasn’t 💯% focus then

While she did witnessed other visitors that really wish granted by a loud gong sound noted from their focus wish gong rubbing during her recent visit here, impressive unbelievable 🙏🏻😁 So, not to forget to make your wish & rubbing the gong whenever you’re at this World 1️⃣st stainless steel temple ya 🙏🏻☺️
