Wat Chayamangkalaram is a renowned Thai Temple in Penang, celebrated for its impressive gold-plated Reclining Buddha, which measures 33 meters and ranks among the largest globally.
- Penang Hill - The tour includes a visit to Penang Hill, where guests will take a funicular train to the summit, 833 meters above sea level, to enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Georgetown and mainland Butterworth. The hill is dotted with colonial bungalows, as the British favored the cooler climate over the city’s hot and humid conditions.
- Kek Lok Si Temple - The next stop is Kek Lok Si Temple. Originally built in 1891 as a modest shrine, it has grown into one of South-East Asia’s most magnificent and expansive temples. Since its establishment in 1930, the “Pagoda of Ten Thousand Buddhas” is esteemed as one of Penang’s most stunning architectural marvels, blending three cultures into one structure: a Chinese octagonal base, a Thai middle tier, and a Burmese crown. In 2002, a 30.2-meter bronze statue of Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy, was erected at the temple’s highest point, accessible via an inclined lift. Along the way, there will be a stop for complimentary samples of Penang’s famous White Coffee/Tea at Coffee Tree and a demonstration at Crown Pewter, showcasing Malaysian handicraft creation. The tour concludes with a return to the hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle.
