Across the street of the Thai temple is another Buddhist Temple built by the Burmese. Burma Lane, as the name shown, it should be a place where Burmese community gathered. Dhammikarama Burmese Temple is the first Buddhist temple built in Penang. I have no idea how a Burmese temple should looks, but apparently this one in Penang is colorful with many mythical figures and religious icon around the compound.

Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram
I don't know the official name of the temple--Wat Chaiya
Mangkalaram until I search it in the Penang Tourism's
website. We usually call it "The Sleeping Buddha", a
direct translation from Mandarin.Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram
is a Thai Buddhist temple, notable for its Reclining Buddha
statue. Measuring 33 meters in length,the statue is the 3rd
largest in the world.I had been visiting this place everytime
I came back for holidays, tour-guiding friends and my host
family. Same place, different people, nice memory.

Seafood Village--好友
A seafood village at Teluk Kumbar, Penang. You can enjoy a beautiful
sunset at the beach, taking photograph before start the feast. The
place is actually a small kampung quite a distance from the town
erea. Development starts putting its hand there,and traffic jam is
the most significant problem when I visited there 2 weeks ago.
Anyway, I enjoyed the food so much and the price is not that
expensive.
