Wat Cheng Buddhavas (GPS: 6.18202, 102.16945) is a Thai Buddhist temple in Jajahan Tumpat, Kelantan. It is located in Kampung Terbok, just next door to Wat Phikulthong. The temple covers a wide area which is walled up. It is part of a Thai village called Ban Bomet.
Wat Cheng Buddhavas reflects the eclectic nature of Thai Buddhism, which often shows a liberal mixture of Theravada Buddhism with folk religion. For example, the temple has a pavilion shrine with the statues of the Tua Pek Kong and the Thai Sung Lau Kun. Under a tree, there is also a gilded statue of the Hindu deity Ganesha.
Within the compound of Wat Cheng Buddhavas is a holy well called Telaga Nammon. During my visit, I saw on the notice board that they are collecting funds for the restoration of this well.

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.
