I believe a lot of people come to this temple to pray, there is one section we call "set the bird free", It's super weird when they just catch the bird in the cage and wait for you to pay for the bird to release them, it sounds so stupid because the bird was originally freed, but because you want to feel "doing good things" so those birds were caught and caged. You are a sinner but a good person that releases them. Other than that, the" journey to the west" characters (monkey, pig, monster and the monk) statues at the entrance of the temple is super weird, everyone knows that "journey to the west" is just a famous old NOVEL, and you gonna pray to them? It sounds like people are going to pray to Monkey D Luffy in the year 2123. It was not even related to Thai Buddhism (if you studied the history of the Buddhism and know the different of 大乘佛法 and 小乘佛法） By the Way, the temple is ok, quite beautiful and worth to visit.

拜的神多自然有神庇佑 A place that you will feel peaceful whenever you came over here. Donation is based on your sincerity. You can see few safety boxes put in front of the Ah Chan - monk. Amazing~ Anyhow, they never force you to donate in certain amount. All depend on your heart and capability. You will see a very shining monk statue there. Many believers will stick the gold paper onto the monk. Some believe if you have backache, you may stick at the monk’s back with the gold paper. Then eventually your backache will disappear. I haven’t try before, thus I cannot tell you the result. You may give it a try and let us know the result if you do so. Thanks in advance. The monk will do a prayer for us and sprinkle water to us during the prayer. After that they will tie a yellow string on our hand as blessing. We feel very comfort after the prayer. Will visit again whenever got festive.

I went to pray our Phra Phrom today and this is the one and only Thai temple I go on local, I’m so disappointed!!! The biggest reason is the flower shop!!! They took the flower I brought just in a minute and resell it again to other prayer !!! Some more the flower I brought from other places😅 is this count as a business ???!!! A business without a cost instead of Taking other prayers’ flower and resell to other people, stupid or what? We pray to our God please respect la! I’m so sad that the temple allowed these people to do something like this, if you want you get a flower by yourself and sell then only take it back after a day is still reasonable la, I don’t wanna tell it out which shop, I think you guys knew it….. anyone who have a same thought with me please let them see this…

One of the largest Thai Buddhist temple in the country located in Petaling Jaya, which is the local favorite worshipping temple of their faith. The compound is huge and divided into a few sectors with the main prayer hall just off the left of the main entrance. One can perform prayers here with the guidance of the house monks, and donations of any sort can be made at their main reception area where receipt will be issued for cash donations. It is a really fascinating temple just by the virtual of its size , not to mention the fine statues of dieties and Buddhas that lined each and every corner of this magnificent temple. Parking is limited by not too hard to find as most can park on the exterior roadside. Highly recommended to if you are around this area.

This is a Thai Buddhist Temple near Bukit Gasing in Petaling Jaya. The chief abbot and monks are all Thai. It is a large area with main shrine and several other viharas with reclining Buddha, Avalokiteswara bodhisattva (Kuan Yin), Maitreya Buddha and Phra Phrom ( Four faced Buddha). This Theravada buddhist temple is very popular with both Thai and Malaysian Buddhist devotes. There are plenty of events throughout the year like Wesak day, Katthina.. There is daily morning (6am to 7am) and evening (7pm to 8pm) chanting and prayers at the main shrine. There is also Sunday dhamma school for children conducted both in Thai and English language

I dropped by on a Saturday. Ooooh lots of people and tourists. May look small from the outside but it is quite a spacious land. Main temple is beautiful. Inside there’s a Buddha statue on the altar. There’s a row of golden Buddha statues holding pots for your donations (if you like). There’s a monk giving blessings and sprinkling holy water onto devotees. Outside, there’s a Guanyin shrine, a Matrieya Buddha (Laughing Buddha) shrine, a Four Faced Buddha shrine, and a Bhrama Pavilion for prayers. Very interesting place for prayers. This Thai Buddhist Chetawan Temple is an historical temple and is the only temple of its kind in Selangor.
