Sleeping Buddha in Tumpat, Kelantan




Gigantic Sleeping Buddha in Tumpat (Wat Pothivihan), near Kota Bahru . It is one of the three main Thai temples in Kelantan and was maintained by the Thai Buddhist community here. The reclining statue is the longest of its kind in Southeast Asia.  Mainly visited by ethnic Thai people since the area is near the Thai Border.
