Just West of Kota Bharu is the town of Tumpat, an area rich in Buddhist temple complexes. It makes sense, you're practically at the border with Thailand.
One of the more grand places is Wat Machimmaram, commonly known as the sitting Buddha temple. Why?
Yup.
He's a biggie, said to be about 30 meters tall. We're not sure about that measurement, maybe they're including the temple base. No matter, he's the biggest sitting Buddha in Malaysia.
Checking out some of the interiors, filled with icons and history.
Monk in wax, eerily realistic. And well lit!
Interior details. Camera and icon watching you and some fantastical, historical warnings. Hey, didn't we see some of those animal humans in Thailand? We did!
Gold Buddha in a completely unnatural setting. Green with envy?
