A truly remarkable Thai Buddhist Temple in the heart of Petaling Jaya. A wonderful temple that offers a great solace to those seeking some peace and quiet. A good place to offer prayers and mediate.

Thai buddhist temple with monks from thailand that does blessings daily. Seen people bringing their new cars for blessings as well. They have ample parking inside. However, on special occasions parking is full.

I dont recall seeing monkeys here since I come here every month.
All I can say is, this os the only thai temple in PJ. There are monks who can offer you blessings and you can even get them to bless your thai amulets.
There are two amulet shop. One is run by monks another is run by dealers. The dealers seem to be ignorant (especially the guy who talks very rude) and if you head to the monks shop, you can buy tamboon for the monks who will be sitting in the main hall where you get the blessings.

This temple was good around 7 to 8 years ago. Now it has very terrible management, only look nice at upper level, when u go down to lower level which is columbarium, swithches out of order for almost 2 years no repair, maintenance fee are paid, they keep building new building but no maintenance. When we complaint again n again they just cheat us they will repair the following week. Today when we complaint, the monk in management office even throw chair and shouted at us. Very disappointed. Quality drops.

We come here every week. Plenty of carpark and its free. The buddha statues are mind blowing and extremely beautiful.
We also go there weekly for sauna bath. Rm 5 per person. No time limit. The sauna is very clean and worth the money. My acne and body smell has reduced after regularly visiting the sauna here.

This temple is located off Jalan Gasing in PJ. It is opposite La Salle School. By LRT you disembark at Taman Jaya take a short walk along Amcorp Mall then you cross the main road to taman jaya to the temple. It is about 15mins walk.
You will find a Bodhi trees on the grounds. The main temple buildings you will find intricate carvings. It is of authentic Thai architecture. The only one of this kind in kuala lumpur. It is open daily from 7.30am till 9.30pm.
In the compund you will find halls, shrines and a pavilions, there also includes a monastery, meditation hall and columbarium. One interesting feature of Wat Chetawan from other Thai Buddhist temples it has a herbal sauna treatment centre. There are also gift shops selling amulets and prayer beads.
Buddhists throughout the country gathered in temples to pay homage to Lord Buddha on Wesak Day. This year it was celebrated on 13/5.
Wesak is a holiest day for Buddhists and celebrates the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment and his passing away. You will see procession in the night.

Visited the Wat Chetawan for the very first time today and it was a big and beautiful Thai temple here in KL. There are a few buildings in the compound and it does seem to get quite a good traffic flow by about 10am.

The temple only opens at 09:00 hr with SOP in place, mask worn at all times. As for ‘mandi bunga’ never knew they had such thing at the temple, sorry unable to assist on that enquiry.

No Sakyant (tattoo) for now, but have herb sauna, two amulet stores, amulet blessing, monk blessing, monk offering etc.
For "Mandi Bunga" please arrange with admin office, they will instruct and might need to reserve a time slot if you are a group of visitors coming.
