Wat Thamkhiriwong

Wat Thamkhiriwong is a Buddhist temple nestled in Kampung Wat, Pendang, Kedah — a region known for its multi-ethnic Buddhist community. The temple serves as a serene place of worship and meditation, offering a tranquil spiritual atmosphere far removed from the bustle of city life. Visitors will find beautifully arranged Buddha statues, a stupa, and architectural designs that reflect Theravada Buddhist traditions. Beyond being a place of worship, the temple functions as a community centre for religious ceremonies, puja rituals, and Buddhist festivals such as Vesak. The lush green surroundings create an ideal setting for reflection and inner peace. Wat Thamkhiriwong welcomes anyone wishing to honour the beauty of Buddhist heritage in Kedah. When visiting, please dress modestly and cover your shoulders and knees as a sign of respect. Remove your shoes before entering the main worship hall. Do remember to bring a camera to capture memorable moments at this beautiful sacred site. The temple can be visited throughout the year, though special ceremonies during the Buddhist month (typically May) tend to draw larger gatherings of devotees and visitors.
