Dhammikarama Burmese Temple

Here is a nice and peaceful place to visit. The temple is beautiful with Thai style design and many Buddha statues around. When you walk inside, the atmosphere feels calm and relaxing. It is a good place to take a slow walk, pray, or take some photos. Sometimes it can be more crowded during festival days, but most of the time it is quiet and peaceful. Overall, it is worth visiting if you are in Penang and want to see a cultural and religious place.

This Burmese temple is located directly opposite Chaiya Mangalaram Thai Buddhist Temple. Similarly, it has been decades since I last visited and really relieved to see this temple is well maintained. I visited on a weekday and am glad I made that choice. As this site is a recommended tourist & historical site, going a weekday meant it was less crowded and I could enjoy the sights there. During my visit, there were almost no tourist in sight except for Buddhist devotees at that time. Some tips and highlights: - There are no issues with photos and videos of the temple (inside & outside). - Shoes must be taken off before entering the buildings. - There are plenty of statues, carvings and paintings; worth taking your time admiring and looking through them. - There are some sections of the temple where artwork, Buddhist trinkets, statues, Burmese Jade and many more items sold. - When I visited, there was a monk in the main shrine hall that was available for blessings. - The temple has a building housing many standing Buddha statues. In this building, there are beautiful wood carvings all over. At the back of the building, there are many different statues representing the different countries. Each statues has slightly different facial features representative of that country. - There is no admission fee. Visitors are welcome to donate any amounts they wish to. - There are beggars on the temple grounds but nothing to worry about. Overall, the temple has a very peaceful atmosphere. I would happily return again to this temple any given day.

The Burmese Buddha temple with lots of Buddha statue. Peaceful and feel Clam place to visit. This Burmese Buddha temple is opposite the Chaiya Mangalaram Thai Buddha temple.

Right opposite the Thai Buddhist Temple. If you are looking for inner peace just walk around the monestary. The wood worked paneling and gold leaf work is just amazing.

It's temple from burma. I'm not sure why thye still call "Burma". Anyway this temple is very big. And the sculpture of the main hall is awsome. It's decorated on the wall and ceilling. I cannot imagine how they made. And there is a tower at back, and you can come up to the top (4th floor?) by elevator and you can see the temple from the top.

This temple is know as Burmese Temple. The Temple was so colorful. It was the same and more improve since my last visit. I think it was 6 years ago i visit this temple.

This is about the best Buddhist temple I have ever seen. I have been to most Asian countries. Well worth a visit.

Great Burmese Buddhist temple has arguably more photo opportunities than its more famous Thai neighbour across the road. Lots of lovely cool a nd comfy seats to have a rest, too
