just like chandam , thailand's national drink, we became more known in thailand by launching the network. of course, our news-making activities were also not without impact. the short clip is one of our most news-making activities, launching the quds day procession , a magnificent and regular gathering, maybe you are a few. thailand, you don't dream of such a scene, that shia , sunni and buddhist together block the main street of bangkok in front of the embassy of the israeli regime . from writing poems and covering the news, responsible for creating order and system, demonstrations, exams, so that other people don't disturb the movement of people. holy day with slogans and placards it is not enough to shake hands, we talk to people who are full of questions and have a lot of information about the palestinian issue, while we also talk to journalists and writers , i can say that the impact of these face-to-face talks is the impact of our entire march. it is equal, yusuf and some of the children shoulder this important mission. it can be said that the holy day demonstration in bangkok is o

in thailand, they had to take me to thailand after islam, i found a good relationship between buddhists and muslims, especially between buddhists and shiites , there was a very close relationship and interest. in 466 years ago, during the time of ayatollah, people from iran came to thailand, and the religion of islam and religion they described and explained the king of imam time welcomed many of them, those who are the grief of the people of thailand, one of the great and important figures in the history of thailand, he was close to the court of that period and gave advisers to the king of iran, the government and the empire of thailand were very related to the shiites, and this closeness and trust in the so-called era to control and then to its peak , the thai kings created a toy called shaykh al-islam specially for shias. first thai empire all of them were shia and the status of shia sheikhs of islam was such that every time one of them passed away, the king donated their burial soil and tomb site . our association became more active day by day . we made a documentary, but it didn't

so did you come to thailand to escape? - i came to thailand to discover my roots, to be honest.to say it's spiritual awakening. - in addition to founding his muay thai gym, chris also became a devout follower of buddhism, trained as a monk, and has integrated meditation into his daily life. - if you could imagine some gung-ho marine asshole, that's what i was. and now, like, this is me 10 years later. and it's because of the surroundings. it's because of the people. it's because of buddhism. but everybody has their own journey. everybody has their own path. and at the same time, you have to be ready to face your demons. - chris and i have very different stories. while he was overseas serving our country, i was directing a weird off-broadway artsy play about clowns sharing an apartment with fish. and yet, we have a few things in common. we both survived rough childhoods. we both leaned on drugs and alcohol to escape our sadness. but seeing chris not only surviving but genuinely thriving proves that a reinvention of our relationship with happiness is within our grasp. chris, it's

in thailand. before the victory of the islamic revolution in shia iran , there were only 6 mosques in thailand . from what ethnicity, after the victory of the revolution in iran, because imam khomeini was a shiite, this matter was formed out of the hope that the religion of islam can return to the world stage again . this factor led to the victory of the revolution in iran. thai , we are interested to know shia, which is the shia religion what is it exactly? because we were sunni hanafi before azan, that's why we became interested in studying shiism and getting to know more about this religion . seyyed suleiman, who returned from iran to thailand , went south and settled there in the unreadable city of amarat, where he has been since childhood. tun had grown up in the area that can be said to be the center of the shiites in thailand. the first thing he did was to lay the foundation stone of the mosque. the mosque, which is now one of the most famous shiite gathering centers in southeast asia , was

thailand owes its fame to many things . thailand is famous for its delicious and exotic foods, due to martial arts and martial arts, learning about sports that have been in our blood since childhood reminded me of my country. there are golden buddha temples that can be found in every street he saw some of these, but in my opinion, there are other things that the world can recognize my country by. there is no description. we are very attached to this building, maybe because we were very homesick to build it and we worked very hard, from saving money in our pocket and weekly savings to working hard as a student to cover the expenses. from the children every day after the closing of the universities until the end of the night in coffee shops and the restaurants were working and a significant part of the salary was allocated to the association. we used to gather together regularly and talk about the association's accounts and books. when people work hard to get something, they depend on it. it also made us feel the same way abo

i studied in thailand and in the same high school i got my high school diploma in thailand before theory of the islamic revolution in shia in thailand , there were only 6 mosques, which we call the old shia , the same ones who were found 400 years ago and what ethnicity are their descendants after the victory of the revolution in iran. because imam khomeini was a shiite, there was a hope that islam could return to the world again, and this factor led to the victory of the revolution in iran, and this is the reason why i became a few other young thai people to know shiism, that the shiite religion is exactly what it is. why, because we were sunni hanafi before the call to prayer, because of this trend we did to study shiism and know the most religion of seyyed sulaiman, who returned from iran to thailand, he went to genoa and settled there in the impurity city of tam aparat, where he grew up since his childhood , the area that can be said to be the center of thailand's shiites now. what he did was to lay the foundation stone of a mosque, a mosque that is now one of the most famous gath

i must say after the arrival of islam in thailand .dhists and muslims have a good relationship i found that especially mobeen, buddhists and shiites, there was a very close relationship and interest. in 466 years ago , during the time of ayatollah, the people of iran came to thailand and explained the religion of islam and the religion. thai doone, one of the great and important historical figures of thailand, was close to the court of that period, and he trusted the king of iran, the advisers of the government and the empire of thailand, and the shiites , and this closeness and trust led to his peak during the so-called control period and after that. game kings of thailand religious raider named sheikh islam was created specifically for shias. sheikh al-islam is the supreme advisor of the king, that is, the king made any decision. the authority of sheikh al-islam is supreme, and no decree was issued without the opinion of sheikh al-islam. if i am not mistaken, until the first 7 classes of the thai empire, all were shia, and the positi

there is no thailand, and this is a great blessing for me. before we know the arrival of muharram from the calendar , tamara's state of impurity informs the attention of our people about this issue. the ladies may go earlier than others to prepare and distribute mantles for this ceremony. and the black mask, the work that they are responsible for, madam, of course, they are not satisfied with these matters photography, taking pictures and producing programs from mourning ceremonies are considered their activities, and by implementing the text of the speeches , it helps a lot to provide the content of our website and magazine. cultural products, things like headscarves, although there are t-shirts and mourning inscriptions, there is a store where we can get these kinds of things, because of this , we are responsible for the production of all of this, which, of course, children, the joy of this work will not be replaced by anything else in the world, children , even though they are not familiar with the arabic script but with their artistic tas
