Halal restaurants in Dannok - Hat Yai (Haad Yai) – Krabi – Koh Samui

Image from http://www.geddoche.com/mt_files/archives/2004_01.html

Southern Thailand has quite a sizeable muslim population hence finding halal food is quite easy.

I've been to Dannok (nearby my home town in Kedah) - interesting place but don't think I'll go there again. Been to Krabi too - This place can warrant a re-visit, quieter then Phuket (though I prefer Phuket), beautiful beaches n lime stone formations.

From my visits I found Phuket locals are friendlier than Krabi locals - maybe Phuket has been in tourism business longer than Krabi n they know they need to treat tourists nicely to ensure repeat visits.

This site only caters to finding halal food but if u decide to visit Thailand or whereever, plan your journey by knowing the basic stuffs - where to stay, where to eat, where to see, where to shop, what to do, how to move about, etc - there are loads of other sites offering these info.

Halal restaurants in Bangkok

Image from http://www.geddoche.com/mt_files/archives/2004_01.html

I told my mom that I just came back from Bangkok few months back; immediately she asked “how did you find halal food there?”

Told her “Well..actually quite a lot of muslims in Bangkok, so finding halal food was not really a problem”.

So, if you were to visit Bangkok leave your instant noodles at home, explore the city n worry not about food, just print pages from websites below n enjoy the trip n tom yum n mieng kam etc...or even nasi lemak :-)

Refer to these websites for halal food eateries:
