Carte des lieux
À propos du lieu

Founded by Yunnanese Muslim migrants, Baan Haw Mosque anchors the historic trading enclave beside the Night Bazaar.

Also known as the Hedaytul Islam Mosque, the site stands near the Chiang Mai Night Bazaar as one of the largest mosques in the province. Hui migrants from Yunnan Province, historically referred to locally as the Chin Haw, established the prayer center after trading caravans settled in the area. It remains a primary congregation point among the city's Chinese-founded Islamic sites.

Later rebuilding replaced the original compound with Arabic architectural forms rather than traditional Chinese structures. A notable cultural marker persists at the prayer hall entrance, where the Chinese phrase 清真寺 or qingzhensi designates the building as a temple of purity and truth. Long-term residents in the surrounding enclave encounter an active religious routine distinct from the tourist market.
