The correct name is 'Dhammikarama Burmese Buddhist Temple'

It is located at No. 24 Lorong Burma, Pulau Tikus (one way street from Kelawai Road)

Burmese temple in Penang
Jun 2023 • Family
The Burmese temple is just across the Thai temple. There are lots of pictures describing about Buddhism, garden and statues of Buddha. Unique and different to see and explore.

A wonderful temple
May 2023 • Couples
A really beautiful Burmese temple situated in Malaysia, and if you have been to other Buddhist areas of SE Asia, you can really appreciate the difference. Also, there are some cool and interesting decorations in the temple showing the other Buddhist areas in Asia, and it’s fun picking out areas you’ve been to. The temple is really well maintained, clean and up the pagoda provides some lovely views. Free entry and great for pics.

Burmese facing Thai
Feb 2023
Less shining than the Thai version opposite it the Burmese Buddhist Temple grounds have many painted statues of gods and other mythical characters. Several ponds are full of big fish, introducing live turtles is prohibited, but somebody already did it. This building too is kept in pristine condition by constantly repainting the gilded ornaments. Entrance is free and begging is not encouraged by the temple. I bought a small massage device made from real horn from the man by the gate.

Another great temple to see
Aug 2022
The temple is still very much in use, and many people go and pray there. I'm not sure whether any monks also live in it, but I saw one talking to a visitor. The temple is full of colours, and there are a few plaques that tell you a little bit about the history. It's worth a visit.

It's worth a trip to go and see
Aug 2022
Itself is worth visiting. Also there are two Thai Temple across the street which can be visited at once. There are nice shopping malls nearby to cool down and rest.

Seen one temple, seen them all
Oct 2020
Without meaning to sound rude or ignorance, after the 3rd or 4th temple we pretty much switched off. Yes, they are nice. And yes the first temple we saw was neat, but after a while they all start looking pretty similar. This one was no exception.

Magnificient temple. Beautiful grounds. Great to be able to walk around freely and just enjoy the architecture and paintings. Founded in 1803 and it looks prosperous. May this Burmese temple continue to grow.

It was really quiet midweek (and RMCO) and we were the only ones there. It was lovely to wander around. So much detail. Free admission.
