I read and heard people talking about this place my whole life. Finally I stepped into this place with my husband and kid to show them that you can have and experience Thailand without ever crossing the border. This place is quiet and I have no problem with that. It just the area at the back of the reclining Buddha needs cleaning

Wat Phothivihan (วัด โพธิ วิหาร) is a Thai Buddhist temple situated in Tumpat District, Kelantan, Malaysia. Below is a detailed description: - Basic Information: Also known as Wat Yamu (วัด ยา มู), the temple was founded in 1973 by Abbot Phra Krur Asapia Chakorn.

Huge sleeping buddha temple. Quite impressed me while the driver drove through the main gate and i saw the big pair of foot sleeping there..."huge!" 1st thought pops out when i saw it. Recommended.!

Wat Phothivihan is best known for its giant reclining Buddha statue, which is definitely impressive and worth a stop if you’re in the area. The temple grounds are spacious with a few other smaller shrines and statues scattered around, though some areas feel a little worn and could use better upkeep. It’s not a major attraction that would take up a lot of time, but it makes for an interesting cultural visit and a good photo stop. Parking is easy, and entry is free, which is a plus.

When you come to Kelantan, how can you miss visiting the largest sleeping Buddha in Southeast Asia. It really shocked my eyes. But it's a pity that it lacks cleaning. There are a lot of bird droppings on the surface of the sleeping Buddha, and there are also a lot of bird droppings on the walkway behind. The point is that you have to take off your shoes before you can go in to see it🤢. In addition to the sleeping Buddha, there are many statues to worship, such as the famous four-faced Buddha. There are a stall at the entrance/exit. If you want to quench your thirst, you can stop and drink coconut water.

A very huge sleeping Buddha in Malaysia, comparable and probably larger than the one in Bangkok. It's also the largest outdoor sleeping Buddha I've ever seen.

Another beautiful temple in kelantan. The sleeping buddha is huge!!! Peaceful and calm place to visit. (This is one of 3 famous buddha temple... Standing, sitting and sleeping buddha temple) Make sure visit standing buddha then sitting buddha and lastly here sleeping buddha for better "wow" feeling... Dont worry about my photos... I took some angles that no one really took it... Better see it for yourself!!!

Magnificent Thai wat with intricate designs on the temple structures and wooden doors. Dragon boat temple was under repainting works during our visit, but the other sections were open. Very quiet and peaceful temple ground, with many dogs (although in slightly poor condition) laying in the area, but they won’t disturb.

Always be respectful when visiting worship sites. This is a very large compound with a number of interesting Thai Buddhist buildings. Do pay attention to the carvings on the doors and windows at the main building.

When visiting Tumpat, Kelantan don't forget to step foot into Wat Maisuwankiri. This is one destination you should never avoid. Once you're there, you'll feel the vibes of time catering for you to enjoy the serenity taking center stage, captivating your soul. The temple is designed with intricate architecture that will mesmerize you and leave you in awe. Each structure unveils a new marvel that will immerse you in the spiritual ambiance. The main attraction is undeniably the towering golden statue of the Buddha, a sight that commands reverence and admiration. Its sheer grandeur against the backdrop of the blue sky is a sight to behold, leaving visitors humbled by its majesty. My opinion about this temple; it's a spiritual oasis where the mind finds rest, the soul finds solace, and the heart finds peace. A visit here is not just a journey through physical space, but a transcendental experience that lingers long after you've left its hallowed grounds. Don't know the way, just stick to what Google Maps or Wave directs you, you'll never get lost. My journey there is short but extremely sweet. ..........................

Wat Mai Suwankhiri in Tumpat, Kelantan, is one of the most beautiful and peaceful Buddhist temples I’ve ever visited. Nestled in a quiet area, this temple is famous for its stunning golden architecture, detailed dragon statues, and the traditional Thai-inspired design that makes it truly unique in Malaysia. As soon as you arrive, you’ll notice the colorful decorations, the intricate carvings, and the calm, spiritual atmosphere that invites you to slow down and reflect. The temple grounds are well-kept and offer plenty of spots for photos, especially with the magnificent naga (dragon) sculptures and the shining pagoda that glows under the sunlight. It’s a wonderful place not only for Buddhists seeking a spiritual experience but also for travelers who love culture, history, and architecture. The locals are very welcoming, and you may even meet kind monks or caretakers who share stories about the temple’s history. What I loved most was the feeling of serenity—it’s away from the busy streets, so you can take your time to explore, pray, or simply sit quietly and admire the beauty. Wat Mai Suwankhiri is a must-visit in Tumpat for anyone interested in Thai temples in Malaysia, photography, or cultural tourism. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists looking for a memorable and meaningful stop in Kelantan.

The Thai-style temple complex shines brightly. The spired stupas and golden Buddha statues exude solemnity and holiness, while the colorful divine beast sculptures and rows of bronze bells add a touch of agility. Among the coconut trees, buildings of different styles coexist harmoniously. Every detail tells the story of cultural integration and the power of faith. Walking here is like stepping into a religious and artistic appointment that transcends time and space.

Love here love wat love buddha

I visited this temple during my Kota Bharu sightseeing trip. It’s located a bit away from the busy city center, offering a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The dragon boat–shaped building is truly unique, and inside you’ll find a Buddha statue protected by Naga and the Earth Goddess, which feels very mystical. The temple grounds are well maintained, clean, and also great for photos. Since it’s not crowded with tourists, it’s a perfect spot if you want to enjoy a quiet visit or peaceful reflection.

No big signature buddha statue but at least inside everything well maintained. The main gate currently closed buy you can enter thru the other gate.

This temple looks deserted, but its well-maintained appearance gives a peaceful atmosphere to its surroundings.

Tourist attractions...Amazing Siamese worship place. .

Beautiful local monastery

worship place peace of mind

(Translated by Google) An old temple, Pengkalan Kubor Subdistrict, Kelantan State. It is assumed that this temple was built in the same period as Chonlathara Singhe Temple, Tak Bai District. There is a large Phikunthong tree that is approximately 320 years old.

After the heavy rain of two months ago, the beach changed at all, now there is no more access, the beach is plenty of casuarina pine fall down morphology change as well, there are many small shops selling ice cream, coconut, snack and food at reasonable price

This place is absolutely breathtaking – from its stunning landscapes to its vibrant atmosphere, it’s a true gem. Every corner offers something special, whether it's the serene views, the welcoming community, or the rich culture that surrounds you. It's the kind of place that leaves you in awe, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking natural beauty and unforgettable experiences. If you're looking for a place that captures the heart and soul, this is it. Truly, everyone should experience it at least once!

We were here in the weekend, but the beach was not crowded. So you can relax. There weren't many shops to buy food. Got a small playground for kids, boat riding, you can take beautiful photos, nice place for taking a walk.

I like this quote...."Sekali air bah sekali pantai berubah" which means "at each flooding, the beach changes." I have been to this beach since 1980! Each time I am here (2 or 3 years apart), the beach changes. New development, new beautification project supercede the old ones. Today, the vietnamese war memorial and the fishing boat replica were added. These I hope will last for many more years. Will add pictures of the sandbar and beaches during future visits.

Pantai Sri Tujuh - Locality in the District of Tumpat, Kelantan Darul Naim, Malaysia. It's the Northernmost point on the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia. The beach stretching about 7km from Tumpat to the Golok River Estuary that separate Thailand and Malaysia. Definitely the Coastline is beautiful creations but not as expect there're a lot of rubbish/garbage on the beachside. The Kelantanian or outsider people should stop treating the beach as the rubbish bin! It a bit inconvenient for some people who have been here to come again though it is a nice place to visit. Don't mess with the nature... There're many facilities, eateries, water and beach activities available but the beach is not suitable for take a dip or swimming depend on season, not allowed in the sea or lagoon behind the beach/sandbar due to safety factor. Thereabouts have a plenty of attraction nearby which you also can visit like the Batik Art Gallery, Muzium Wau (Kites Muzium), Vietnamese War Memorial and the Fishing Boat Replica. 🤔 🤗

I always come to this particular place when I go to Tumpat, Kelantan. The place is very nice , serene and tranquil. You can bring your family here for a picnic, enjoy the scenery and watch the breathtaking sunset. Food are plenty in this area. There are seafood restaurant all over near the resort. Thai tomyam and local cuisines are here and you would enjoy most of them. There is a kite museum here showcasing various kites types in Malaysia. You can also visit a small art gallery showcase the batek art.

Nice place with great potential for future tourism. No enterance ticket needed.

Awesome place to visit. Kenal2 wau.

RM2 ticket for local adult. RM4 for foreigners

Good spot to learn about Wau or a type of kite found in this region. Good trip. RM2 per entry but worth it.

The best place to know history about kite in Malaysia..nice and worth your time and money to come here..while still can enjoy the environment at Pantai Sri Tujuh..

A very small Muzuem with a variety of wau and some information such as type of wau, steps of making wau. I feel amazing to see the wau in detail, surprisingly that making a wau is a very tedious task. Cons: no Aircon, far from town.

A muzium made specially to showcase the various kite types, design and colors. These kites are from all over the regions. Speciality is given to the kites design in the Kelantan state. The size , design and colors top most others states. Kites flying competition is regularly held in this state.

I love to bring my kids here to appreciate the Malaysian Cultural Traditional Arts making Al types of WAU. Recommended to all tourist to pay a visit and learned traditional heritage of original Kelantan Artworks. It is the must to visit the art galleries next to this Museum as well as the scenary is stunning! If you are lucky, you can participate with the local to build your own WAU.
