Kelantan - Tumpat One Day Trip (Part 2)

After visted to Wat Photivihan, we went to another temple. Yes, don't feel weird. There are actually a numbers of temples in Kelantan although this is an islamic state. The next temple we visited was Wat Mai Suwankiri. (龙船寺) which is located in Tumpat too.

There is a 400 years old dragon boat and a  standing Buddha. We were amazed by the huge standing Buddha from the entrance and misunderstood that it was a Standing Buddha Temple. Instead, it is the famous Dragon Boat Temple. Opps, sorry for the mixing up.

Like other temples in Kelantan, the temple was constructed more than 100 years by craftman from Thailand. The interior of the main temple is such majestic.  You will be stunned by the huge gigantic Standing Buddha at top of the building.

ANother main attraction in the Wat Mai Suwankiri, the Dragon Boat.There are 4 dragons act as "guardian", and the boat is surrounded by water.

You will notice that I don't take many photos of each temple even I found that the architectual is amusing me.  One of the reasons is that I do not know whether the action of photographing inside the temple is prohibited, and another reason is the weather on that day is terribly hot.


I believe I will revisit all this temples plus some temples which are already on my list soon. Do stay tune for more updates .
