Check before going

Check halal status

Halal Route app
Free app from Chulalongkorn University’s Halal Science Center: restaurants, mosques, prayer times and qibla in English and Arabic.
Halal areas
Ramkhamhaeng, Phetchaburi Soi 7 near Darul Aman, Charoen Krung around Haroon Mosque, and Sukhumvit Soi 3 near Nana.
Ask directly
Muslim-run and certified are not the same. Check the certificate date and ask about shared kitchens.
Thai food note: pork and lard turn up in many dishes, including fried rice, noodle soups and pastries; shared woks are common. Fish sauce is fine, but oyster sauce and stocks need asking about. Point to a certificate or eat at Muslim-run stalls.
