Buddhist Temple Wat Buppharam

Clearly numbered altars (over 20 of them) for you to pray in sequence. Do read the sign at each altar informing you to place either 3 or 1 joss sticks.

Also try 'lifting' the mini buddha statue in the inner hall. Hearsay only people with clear conscience can lift up.

Thai-style Buddha statue accompanied by a collection of captivating sculptures. This place attracts numerous tourists, and the staff is known for their warm and hospitable nature. It is recommended to explore the legends and stories behind these statues by searching online while lighting a candle.

A huge temple where you can pray around. The interesting part here was the lifting buddha for visitors where you can "ask" buddha whether your dream will come true by lifting the buddha twice

Service: 5/5
This is one temple I have patronized since young. The volunteers and the monks of the temple are very helpful and ever-ready to assist in any matters. The expansion of temple gives more space for big events such as Kathina. The whole temple gives you a warm and serene feeling during visit. Lots of parking within the premise itself.

This lovely temple (Thailand temple) is located exactly the opposite road from Dhammikarama temple (Burmese Temple), A Must See Spot if you come to Penang

Nice place to visit and walk around. Be mindful to follow the etiquette and to not disturb others. Great place to appreciate the architecture and the culture.

Wat Buppharam (Pulau Tikus, Penang, Malaysia) is situated at #8 Jalan Perak. This Thai temple is renowned for the statue of Luang Phor York (the "Lifting Buddha"), Luang Phor Thuard, Sreewali, The Four Faces Buddha and lots more. Get the holy water home to bathe and be blessed ... for believers.

Always love this temple
We had a blast there during songkran festival!

Huge Thai temple. Parking is available at the front yard. LuangPoh is in the temple. Clean, quiet and a good energy temple to pray and visit as a tourist.

A Therawada Buddhist temple with Thai tradition. Nice and colourful archictecture similar to Thailand. Came here to offer prayers and make wishes. Yes, you can ask about your wishes from 'The lifting Buddha'.

Serene atmosphere visiting this shrine or Buddhist Wat. The ambience of Inner peace can he felt while making offerings to Lord Buddha and other enlightened deities. If you have not visited this temple make sure you don't miss out while in the Island.

This is one of the happening Thai Buddhist temples in Penang (during festive periods). There're many spots for devotees to venerate including the main hall. Particularly interesting is the Luang Phuo York Buddha statue located inside the main hall towards the back. Go check it out with an open mind, not with doubtful closed mind.

this is a Thailand temple, got many spots to pray, the sacred monk, sleeping Buddha, sitting Buddha, four faces Buddha, and so on.
There’s a monk inside the temple that you can ask for blessing and holy water.
also famous for its Lifting Buddha..
beautiful temple though

Wat Buppharam Thai (Siamese) Buddhist Temple locates slightly away from the more popular Wat Chaiyamangalaram and Dhammikarama Burmese Temple but it is still considered to be located at Pulau Tikus area (Address:- No. 8. Jalan Perak, George Town, Penang Island, Malaysia. This relatively small but old Thai Buddhist temple complex was built in 1942 by a Thai Buddhist monk named Phothan Srikheaw, who was regarded as the first Chief Abbot of this temple. The founding father of the temple is honored by a gold leaf covered image, together with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Chief Abbot of this temple, located at the front portion, near to the main building of this temple.

The temple grounds are decorated with various mythical religious creatures, such as the traditional Thai Nagas, and deities that popular Thai religion "borrowed" from other cultures, a mixture of Hinduism and Taoism. The statue of Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu deity is placed at the main entrance. On the left, there is a beautiful shrine consecrated to the goddess Kuan Yin, a Mahayana Bodhisattva, and on the far side leading to the burial grounds, there is a small shrine to the Land God, a Taoist deity. In spite of its modest size, Wat Buppharam has arguably one of the largest temple arches in Penang.

Wat Buppharam is sometimes referred as The Temple of the Lifting Buddha. The name was deprived from a mini Buddha statue which was placed at one of the room to let visitors/worshippers seeking for spiritual guidance for personal and/or business matters. The Lifting Buddha is one of the main tourist attraction of this relatively old Buppharam Thai Buddhist Temple and hopefully, the creation of this site will help to provide an addition of another interesting local tourist location in Penang.

Free. Definitely worth a visit. It’s on the 101 route

very clean and peaceful temple. I love the energy here.
