May 26, 2013 By StrawberrY Gal - Malaysia, Penang, Travel Leave a Comment

Wat Chayamangkalaram (Thai: วัดไชยมังคลาราม) is a Siamese temple which was officially given its site by Queen Victoria in 1845. The temple itslef is an architecture house wih a 180-foot gold-plated statue of the reclining Buddha, Pra Buddhachaiya Mongkul – said to be one of the longest in the world. Behind the statue are countless niches with urns containing ashes of devotees. The reclining Buddha represents the historical Buddha at his death, with the name of Pra Buddhachaiya Mongkul which is a symbol to a complete peace and detachment from the world. You will be greeted by two statues right outside of the temple entrance. It is required to remove your shoes before entering the temple.

– The reclining Buddha-

– The Outside of the Temple
