By the way, Wat Siribunyamagaram is known locally as Tambun Siamese Temple and it is one of the major attractions of Ipoh. This morning, I took the opportunity to get some photos of the Siamese temple to share them here.

  1. Hi Emily,

    Where exactly is Wat Siribunyamagaram on Tambun Road?

    Google Map did not recognize the wat or its address when I did a search.

    Can you give me a nearby landmark?

    Thanks,
    Mike
