Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple

Worth visiting. Very peacefull. Didnt expect to be that big in person. Spend minutes admiring Buddha's face and the way his manicured hand support his head. The bare metal frames and trusses adds the charm to the temple. One of the most memorable temples I visited around Southeast Asia

The biggest Reclining Buddha in Myanmar with full length 66.95 m. and high 17.36 m. Its construction began more than 100 years ago and have finished only in 1970s with installing eyes. The the Buddha's eyes are the most amazing thing - to make the class eyes lively the have tried many times. This Buddha is so famous so it's easy to find this Temple.

A must visit large scale lounging Buddha if you are in Yangon. A very beautiful and serene place. Much bigger than I expected. I love this magnificent and peaceful place.

The pagoda notes for its huge reclining Buddha image. It is amazing and much bigger than I thought. Spend time to stroll around there you will learn many things about Buddhism in Myanmar. This pagoda is open for visitors. You should visit this place.

I was late for my flight so I stayed in Yangon without planning ahead. Visiting this temple was not in my plan either. I got an uber and he became my tour guide. This is one of the places he took me to. The reclining Buddha image was impressive. At the time I did not understand the meaning of the image, but I was still overwhelmed. Now that I know the story of thus image, I hope I will have another chance to visit this temple 🙏🙏🙏

The man statue is Sir Po Tha, a wealthy Burmese who sponsored this temple.

A very worthy visit

Beautiful space. Easily accessible.
Reminder for westerners, it is a temple and so there are certain dress requirements.
The Buddha is huge. Much bigger than I expected.
There is a raised viewing platform to see a different perspective.
It does get quite hot, so morning might be better

It’s a must to see while you are in Yangon. It’s beautiful and the reclining Buddha inside the temple really deserves a visit! It’s not crowded and try to dress modestly. Cover your shoulders and legs! Try to respect this sacred place and enjoy the beautiful feet with many meanings and stroll around and be amazed by different Buddha hands posing!

I really liked this pagoda ad it was the first time I head ever been inside the dome. Inside the dome were many places where people could meditate. There were also some very good explanations about the construction of the temple and what every party of the temple meant. There was also a very large diamond on display which goes at the top of the spire

Peaceful place to worship and to meditate.
Sometimes,you can see some Myanmar traditional ceremornies.
Most foreign visitors I seen were from Thailand .
There is also a wide and clean public toilet a little walk from there.
I love this cool and peaceful place.

What an amazing Reclining Buddha... Unfortunately it is having restoration work done to it so will be amazing when its completed in a few months. Some other great Buddha's to see and well worth the trip to it when you are in Yangon

A must visit if you are in Yangon. A very beautiful and serene place. Got many insights about buddha's life. It has largest reclining buddha statue. This place also have couple of souvenir shops in front campus. There is no entry fees.

Most beautiful sleep shape budha ever seen before

The Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda, a hugely ,beautiful reclining Pagoda in Yangon is known for its enormous 65 meters longs is a place that recommended to visit for pray.it’s so impressive temple.

Very long reclining Buddha. Eyes are made of glass as they are so shiny, very nice. Not so many tourists. Note : Must pay for mobile phone camera entry.
Worth a visit!

Kyaukhtatgyi Pagoda aka Chauk Htat Gyi Pagoda) is famed for the enormous 65-meter long sleeping Buddha, one of the largest in Myanmar. What impresses me is also the 108 distinguishing marks on both the Buddha's soles of and the explanations in English. It was indeed a good learning experience.

A reclining Buddha with a benign and compassion expression that is captivating. Ornate headgear. Detailed depiction of the divine marks on the feet. Multiple statues of Buddha in various poses, each of great significance. A series of wall paintings describe the life of Buddha,along with write ups on each event.

Been there after sunset...very calm and quit atmosphere with a nice brise to relax after walking through the busy streets of Yangon.
The Bug Buddha statue is amazingly well done - from head to feet. Absolutely worth going.

Beautiful pagoda of the reclining Buddha. We easily got a taxi here for 4000 and had no issues entering. Make sure you wear temple clothes to be respectful. Not many Western tourists and not a busy Pagoda. There is other stories painted on the walls around the Buddha to admire and read. Not all the paintings have English however so you may want to look into getting a guide.

Reclining Buddha
Amazing place to visit

Very impressive. For those curious to know about Buddhism, it offers lots of text to read through as you walk through the Pagoda. The reclining figure of Buddha is 66 meters in length.
