Temples visit in Tumpat, Kelantan

You could never imagine that Islamic state Kelantan have so many interesting Buddhist temple around. There is a few temples that I visit below during my recent visit to Kelantan. Tumpat is small town and district, about 20 km from Kota Bharu, the capital city of Kelantan state of Malaysia. Kelantan is in the northeastern Malaysia bordering with Thailand and the influence of Thai is clearly visible here. Tumpat has excellent buddhist architecture and temples located on all sides of the town.
