Thai Buddhist Chetwan Temple Jalan Gassing Kuala lampur

08-12-17

Wat Chetawan is a Thai temple in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia. The temple is situated at Jalan Pantai, off Jalan Gasing in Petaling Jaya. It was built in 1957 and officiated by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the King of Thailand at the time.
In Kuala Lumpur, we rented a room in a small guest house located in the peaceful vicinity of Jalan Gassing. The nearest LRT station Taman Jaya was nearly a two-kilometer walking distance from our place. That two-kilometer walk was a very interesting one;  first used to come a small market, where we used to do daily dinner at Sri Paandi Gassing restaurant, which was a  south Indian hotel with a very humble and cooperative staff belonging to Tamil Nadu. They always gave us a favor by giving us extra food. Then there was a peaceful road that went straight to Taman Jaya Lake & Park. There was a Temple located at the beginning of this road.  This was a Thai Buddhist Chetwan Temple. I visited it on the last day of my stay in KL.
