Panyee Darussalam Mosque
8° 20.2′ N · 98° 30.2′ E · approximate
The village mosque, one of the few buildings on solid ground at Koh Panyi and the heart of the community. Its gold dome stands out against the cliff behind the stilt houses.
Practical
Position from the geotag of a 2023 Wikimedia Commons photo of the mosque. Dress modestly, and avoid visiting during Friday midday prayers. Wikipedia notes that the mosque and a freshwater well were the first significant structures built ashore once the community could buy land.
