Wat Jitraram, Jitra

Wat Jitraram, Jitra (30 July, 2016)


Wat Jitraram (GPS: 6.26581, 100.42848), also spelled Wat Chittraram (Thai: วัดจิตราราม), is a Thai Buddhist Temple in Jitra, Kedah. It is located in Kampung Sungai Baru. The temple has a Thai-style ordination hall and other auxiliary buildings. It is partly visible from the North-South Expressway, which was how I discovered it. Upon seeing the temple as I was travelling along the expressway, I decided to exit the expressway and look for it. It took me a little while of searching, but I eventually arrived at the temple, for which I am now able to show the GPS coordinates.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
