Rupa baru masjid lama Arau (New look of the old mosque of Arau)

Salam kepada semua pada hari Jumaat yang indah ini. Kembali pada perjalanan 12-21 Januari yang meliputi sebahagian selatan Thailand.
Peace be upon you all this beautiful Friday. Returning back to the 12-21 January trip which covers parts of southern Thailand.


Kali terakhir saya berkongsi cerita tentang perjalanan tersebut di blogspot ini adalah untuk menunjukkan beberapa tempat yang dilawati di Songkhla 16 Januari 2017. Selepas itu saya pergi ke Hatyai lalu bermalam di sana. Petang seterusnya saya kembali ke Malaysia melalui Perlis lalu singgah di bandar diraja Arau. Di situ saya singgah di tanah perkuburan diraja lama ini.
The last time I shared stories on the said travel in this blogspot was to show a number of places visited in Songkhla 16th January 2017. After that I went to Hatyai and spent the night there. The following afternoon I returned to Malaysia via Perlis and stopped by at the royal town of Arau. There I visited this old royal burial ground..


Turut terletak dalam kawasan idalah sebuah masjid lama.
Also located within thw area is an old mosque.


Kali terakhir saya singgah di sini Ogos 2010 ia kelihatan seperti satu bangunan tinggal. Lihat artikel lama Masjid lama diraja Arau (The old royal mosque of Arau).
The last time I paid a visit here August 2010 it looked like an abandoned building. Look at the old article Masjid lama diraja Arau (The old royal mosque of Arau).


Kini ia kelihatan cantik terjaga.
Now it looks beautiful and taken care of.


Cuma ketika saya sampai pintunya berkunci lalu saya tidak dapat melihat ke dalam.
It's just that when I arrived its door was locked so I could not have a look inside.

Pameran di halaman Muzium Nasional Songkhla (Exhibition at the lawn of the National Museum of Songkhla)



Di hadapan tembok terletak Muzium Nasional Songkhla.
In front of the wall lies the National Museum of Songkhla.


Sayangnya saya sampai ketika ia sedang ditutup untuk kerja-kerja renovasi.
Too bad I arrived when it was closed for renovation works.


Jadi saya cuma dapat melihat pameran di halamannya...
So I could only see the exhibition at its lawns...
