Wat Prachumthat Canaram,Kelantan

There are 3 temples at Kampung Jubakar, the famous for sure is Sitting Buddha, whereas opposite from Wat Machimmaram is this Wat Prachumthat Canaram, and another Wat (temple) which was symbolized by lion (not sure its name).

If the famous Wat Machimmaram’s visitor can have only few visitors (less than the numbers of fingers of yours), these 2 less famous Wat is even miserably few people.

We saw only 1 local in total in these 2 temples- A local who was working on Wat Prachumthat Canaram renovation.


My personal thought is other than Wat Machimmaram is with a huge sitting Buddha, all the 3 temples were impressively magnificent each of them.

I have never experienced to visit temple with such few visitors, but I think this is not a bad thing either as I could take whichever angle with my photos without any blockage of passerby. The only worry I had was doggy might think we were of no good intention and come after us haha.

In front of Wat Prachumthat Canaram, there is this seven-headed dragon, seems like very fierce, bit scary sculpture


But Wat Prachumthat Canaram was not opened its main hall, think maybe this temple was not a temple for tourist but worship place for the locals

Beside the main temple, written Chinese 殿藏地, means store of the Buddhism books, but its board was in Chinese, but not in Thai, feeling a bit strange…

There’re few residential unit which I believe belonged to the Siamese, but there seems no people was at home during our visit, wondering if they went to school or workplace?

After we syok (find happy) our ownselves, we continued our journey to another temple nearby.

On the midway walking to this temple, we double check with the Siamese stall operator that the no 27 bus route is to Malaysia-Thailand border. But she seemed couldn’t understand none in my Bahasa Melayu, leaving me in stars/doubts if due to my too-formal BM or Siamese here do not use BM in their daily life…

The next temple was even more “peaceful” totally no human being around, neither did a dog or cat, except the statue lion at the entrance.

The temple seemed to be very astonishing, but don’t know why I had a strong feeling of abandoned. My brother was too observant to see a lot of spider webs on top of the temple. Some even of big spiders which web area can be as wide as 2 to 3 meters from temple roof to the trees beside! And I have no idea why the webs weren’t destroyed during heavy rain pour.


Seeing such large magnitude of spider web, we started to carefully exploring this temple, afraid of accidentally “invade” into their territory and they come after us.

Really wondering if reason existence of these spider webs- because of abandoned temple or become of Buddhism “non-killing” ideology?

Nevertheless, something worth seeing in this temple compound- the residential houses behind were of different style of architecture-non repetitive. There was Malay style’s rumah kampong” and Thai’s temple style.

After taking some commercial for Jetstar- X posture. We took the bus no 27 and continued our journey to Malaysia-Thailand border—Pengkalan Kubor!

吉兰丹 Wat Prachumthat Canaram, Kelantan Malaysia

在Kampung Jubakar就有三座佛庙，最有名的当然是坐佛，而马路对面就有Wat Prachumthat Canaram 还有一间以狮子做象征物的佛庙（不知道它的名字）

既然著名的坐佛都可以少人到十只手指可以数到（2小时内），这两座比较无名的佛庙参观人数就更加可怜了，我们在这两座庙，就只是看到1个当地人，正在修建Wat Prachumthat Canaram。

其实个人觉得，除了Wat Machimmaram 有一个很大的坐佛，三座佛庙都是一样富丽堂皇，可观性都蛮大的。我本身是之前没有去过这么少人的膜拜场所，所以觉得没人也好，至少拍照不用多番迁就，就只是怕狗儿以为我们来者不善，向我们追来。

Wat Prachumthat Canaram 门口有着一对七头神龙守护，感觉有点猛。

这一间Wat Prachumthat Canaram应该是没有开放的，大门深锁着。。

旁边就有一座殿藏地，牌坊就只是中文，而没有泰文，感到有点奇怪。。

里面有一些民居，相信是泰裔，可是没看到任何人在家的迹象，上班或上学了？

我们在没人理会自爽后，才步行到附近的另一座佛庙。
在路途中，为了再三确认我们要乘搭巴士的路线，我们去了一间泰裔经营的小食店打听打听，可是对方好象听不明白我的马来文，不知道是不是我的马来文太教材式（不是吉兰丹马来话）？又或者这里的泰裔在日常生活用不上马来语？

接下来去的佛庙更加“与世无争”，除了我们，没有其他人的踪迹，也没有半只狗儿猫儿。。。它只有守门狮坐镇：


佛庙看起来也是很美，可是就是不知道为什么有点被遗弃的感觉，
眼尖的弟弟，看到佛庙上方，堆满了蜘蛛，而且都是大蜘蛛，其中一些蜘蛛网的区域竟然是从佛庙到距离佛庙两三公尺旁的大树，不知道为什么蜘蛛网不会被大雨摧毁？

看到了这么壮观的蜘蛛网后，我们开始小心翼翼的探索这一座佛庙，深怕不小心被“网罗”，引来大蜘蛛追随。

真的好奇这一座庙那么多大蜘蛛网是因为被荒废了，还是佛家的不杀生理念？

不过，这一座佛庙也有值得看看的地方，里面的民居各式各样，没有一间是同样风格的，有马来高脚屋，也有好象佛庙式（应该是泰式）。

拍了一些Jetstar式的X形照，我们就在这一座蜘蛛网佛庙外再度乘搭27号巴士前往马泰边界-Pengkalan Kubor。
