First stop, Wat Chayamangkalaram - a Thai Buddhist temple that is famous for a large reclining Buddha statue that is dressed in a gold saffron. Underneath the statue is a large crematorium.

There were a lot of Buddhas inside the temple in different positions.

There was also a fat Buddha:
The weather was scorching hot at that time as you can see the look from our faces as we got out of the temple.
Two giant guards keep watch of the temple.
As the Burmese Buddhist temple was just across the street along Lorong Burma, we never slipped the chance to visit it also. But before we entered the temple, we stopped over for some memorabilia.
The Dharmikarma Temple is said to be the only Burmese temple in the whole of Malaysia.
Like in the previous temple, there were also a lot of Buddha statues in different hand positions.
This photo was taken because of the intricate hand carving in the background.
