Design
The new building was opened on 27 December 2009, replacing the old one. It is a mixture of Chinese and Islamic architecture. The main structure is influenced by Persian architecture with Chinese decorations. The tip of the two minarets has been replaced with the small Chinese pavilion, instead of a typical Islamic dome. Its total cost was around 20 million baht.
