The Central Mosque in the Songkhla Province resembles Thailand’s Taj Mahal. It sits halfway along the main highway connecting Hat Yai and Songkhla city. The modern monument, inspired by classical Mughal architecture, boasts a symmetrical design with a central gold dome atop a large square building flanked by four detached minarets overlooking a large rectangular water feature.
The mosque is set in a very quiet and peaceful location. Surrounded by open fields, it is close to the large canals that form part of Hat Yai Cool, pleasant breezes blow through the mosque giving a little respite to the intense heat that is typical in southern Thailand. It was the largest mosque in Thailand when it was completed in 2001.
