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

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
