From the teachings of Guru Nanak who blended the qualities of Hinduism and Islam, the paths of faith spread from Amritsar, in the region of Punjab, to many countries all over the world. The United States of America, Canada and Australia are home to Sikhs, as well as the countries of Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Here in Thailand, we find the Sikh community in the district of Pahurat.
The first Sikhs settled in Thailand during the reign of King Rama V. The trading profession was an ancient tradition in India, and the Sikhs chose the route of “trading fabrics”. Pahurat then became known as the center for fabrics operated by the Indian community. The lives of the Sikhs are interlinked with the Pahurat environment, especially Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha or “Wat Sikh”.
