Mosques

Takeo, a province in southern Cambodia, is home to a modest but active Muslim community supported by prayer places both within Cambodia and across the nearby border in Vietnam. Based on available mapped records, there are 20 listed mosques and prayer rooms within a 50 km radius of central Takeo. The majority of these are located in the An Giang province of Vietnam, particularly in the communes of Châu Phong, Đa Phước, and Vĩnh Trường, which are part of the Tân Châu and An Phú districts. In Cambodia, a few prayer places are recorded in Kaoh Thum district and S’ang district near Phnom Penh, such as Masjid Darul Ta'zim and MASJID KOH THMEY. This cross-border presence reflects the historical and cultural ties between the Cham Muslim communities in the Mekong Delta region.

Among the listed mosques, several are named and can serve as landmarks for visitors. In Châu Phong, notable mosques include Jamuil Azhar Mosque, Masjid Nia'mah, Masjid Hayatus Sunnah, Masjid Al Muhammadiyyah, and Niemah Mosque. In Đa Phước, there are Thánh đường Hồi giáo Masjid sunnah and Cham Mosque Masjid Ihsan. Other prayer places such as Surau Jumarui Islam, Surau xã حياة الاسلام, and various surau (small prayer rooms) are scattered throughout Châu Phong. In Cambodia, Masjid Darul Ta'zim is located in Kaoh Thum, while MASJID KOH THMEY is in S’ang district, Phnom Penh. These listings provide a starting point for Muslims in Takeo to find nearby places for daily prayers, especially for those living in the southern part of the province near the Vietnamese border.

For Muslims living in or visiting Takeo, the mapped data indicates that the most accessible prayer places are concentrated in the border areas of An Giang, Vietnam, with a smaller presence in Cambodia. The listed mosques in Châu Phong and surrounding communes are within a 30–50 km drive from central Takeo, making them feasible for Friday prayers or weekend visits. In Cambodia, the mosques in Kaoh Thum and S’ang district are closer to Takeo city. While the data does not provide specific services or facilities, the variety of named mosques and surau suggests a well-established network for the Cham Muslim community. New arrivals, students, and travellers should plan their routes carefully, as many addresses are in rural areas and may require local knowledge to locate.

Check the address and distance of each mosque before visiting, as many are located across the border in Vietnam. The listings include names and street details, but some addresses are in rural communes without precise coordinates. Contact information is not provided, so verify details locally or through community networks. Note that opening hours and prayer times are not listed; it is advisable to confirm directly with the mosque.
