Attraction Details :
Satun Central Mosque
(Majid Mambang) is located on Buri Wanit Road and Satun Thani Road in
the center of Satun. The mosque was built in modern Islamic architecture
style and decorated with marble and colorful glasses. The building is
divided into two parts: outside is a corridor that leads to a dome tower
where there are picturesque views of Satun town. Inside is a prayer
hall and the library is located in the basement. Previously, Masjid
Bambang was a one storey building. Its unique three-tier roofs were
arranged in a pyramid shape with the smallest one on the top and the
largest at the bottom to cover the whole building. The floors were
covered with brown tiles. The interior measured 13 meters both in length
and width and the building was supported by four wooden poles. The
original Masjid had deteriorated because of its wooden structures and
because it was too small to accommodate worshippers performing prayers.
It was then uprooted and rebuilt in the same plot of land. The new
building was completed in May 1979.Opening hours: 9am-4pm
