Thailand is becoming increasingly popular among Muslim travelers, and the country is actively working to ensure a welcoming and inclusive experience for this growing market. Recognizing the need for dedicated resources, the Halal Science Center at Chulalongkorn University has launched the ‘Halal Route’ app, a comprehensive guide designed specifically for Muslim tourists.
This innovative mobile application offers a treasure trove of information, simplifying the travel experience and ensuring peace of mind for Muslim visitors. The app features a searchable database of Halal-certified restaurants, hotels, mosques, and tourist attractions across Thailand. It also includes practical features such as prayer times, qibla directions (the direction to face during prayer), and even directions to nearby prayer facilities.
The ‘Halal Route’ app is available in Thai, English, and Arabic, making it accessible to a wide range of users. It’s seamlessly integrated with Google Maps, allowing for easy navigation and a smooth exploration of Thailand’s diverse destinations.
With over 1,100 restaurants already listed and coverage extending to more than 40 provinces, the app is rapidly expanding its database. The app development team is continuously updating the information to provide users with the most current and relevant data.
The ‘Halal Route’ app is a testament to Thailand’s commitment to embracing Muslim tourism. By providing essential resources and information, the app empowers Muslim travelers to explore the country’s beauty and culture with ease and confidence, ensuring a truly enriching travel experience.
