- Steve RBolton, UK600 contributionsIf you're in the area then you should definitely visit Perak Tong. It's one of a few temples within a cave in Malaysia and has a relaxed and thought provoking vibe to it. I can recommend it but only for an hour or so.Written 5 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- nellielimKuala Lumpur, Malaysia3,920 contributionsThis Thai Buddhist temple is located along Jalan Kuala Kangsar on the road to Taiping. In the main prayer hall sits Sakyamuni Buddha with a large reclining Buddha in the background. The reclining Buddha measuring 24 m long makes it one of the largest reclining Buddha in the country. In the grounds are also numerous life sized images of arhats, a dragon, Kuan Yin and Phra Prom. The interior walls have some beautiful murals of Buddha. Popular among the locals, this is the only Thai temple in Ipoh. A nice peaceful place to visit for some quiet contemplation.Written 2 May 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
