Wat Chaiyamangkalaran

A beautiful temple!

This temple has the third largest reclining Buddha in the world!

It’s beautiful on the outside, with a huge golden steeple, and large statues of dragons and men. There are multiple alters, and a Buddha for each Chinese zodiac sign, where you can pray and donate money. It’s the largest Buddhist temple in Penang, and there were quite a few people praying here- it’s not just for tourists!

It’s right across the street from the Burmese temple, so you can see both at the same time. It’s in Georgetown, so it’s easy to get to. I definitely recommend going here, because it’s so colorful and interesting.
