Wat Machimmaram
A Thai Buddhist temple in Kampung Sai, Tumpat, where a gold seated Buddha about 30 metres tall sits atop the main hall, said to be one of the largest seated Buddhas in Southeast Asia.
Wat Machimmaram is located in Kampung Sai, Tumpat district. Its most striking feature is the gold seated Shakyamuni Buddha atop the main hall, about 30 metres tall and visible from far away, said to be one of the largest seated Buddhas in Southeast Asia. Murals inside depict the life of the Buddha. Many Thai-descended residents live in northern Kelantan, and there are numerous Buddhist temples in this area, so it is well suited to a half-day tour by hired car, combined with the Reclining Buddha Temple, Wat Mai Suwankiri and the Standing Buddha Temple. Admission is free; please dress appropriately.
