Dhammikarama Burmese Temple

Dhammikarama Burmese Temple is Malaysia’s first Burmese Buddhist temple, glowing with golden pagodas, guardian figures and intricate murals that feel transported from Myanmar. On Penang’s Burmese–Thai temple strip, it stands opposite the famous reclining Buddha at Wat Chayamangkalaram—a classic pairing of Southeast Asian devotion. Wander courtyards of bells, statues and photo-worthy spires, then cross the road to the reclining Buddha for a full half-day of temple colour and calm reflection. Visit for serene craftsmanship and a vivid reminder of Penang’s long Indian Ocean and mainland Asian spiritual links through the centuries.
