in the previous post i had posted an introduction of my journey to Bangkok Thailand. In this post today i would like to make a new entry about thailand. Basically i went to Bangkok because i have Youth Peace Ambassador International Training and i met lots of people from all around the world. Speaking of Bangkok, there are not many muslims population in Bangkok. Even all around thailand, muslims are only 5% of the whole population. The islamic community in thailand is not very large. Mostly are residing in Southern Thailand and in Bangkok there are only few of Muslims community. I plan to visit at least one of the mosque in Bangkok but there are none nearest to my hotel. About food as a muslim the food must be halal food. The definition of halal differs among muslims all around the world due to different mazhab( school of thought) like syafiee,hanbali,maliki and hanafi. For muslims in Malaysia our definition of halal besides pork , dogs and liquour we also concerned about how the animals were slaughtered. This is what happened in Thailand. Even there are chicken served, i did not eat the chicken because i was wondering how it was slaughtered.It may be difficult for you to eat during your 10 days at Bangkok as i only eat the vegetables and luckily we bring canned food from Malaysia. For the first three days at Bangkok we only found one Thai Muslim Restaurant called Usman Thai Muslim Restaurant at Sukhumvit Soi 22. Besides that, we only at the arabic restaurant. It is very difficult to find halal food in Bangkok. At that moment i realised how i was been tested by Allah. If we do not have faith to Allah i will just eat whatever i want. But because of the spirit of Islam alhamdulillah i can go all difficulties even it is difficult to find halal food. So my advise to all who want to go to Bangkok just prepare any canned food if u couldnt find halal restaurant.
