About Wat Chetawan
Wat Chetawan is a Thai Theravada temple in Petaling Jaya, built in 1957 and officiated by the late King Bhumibol. The main shrine hall is in classic Thai style, with steep tiered roofs, gilded gables and naga finials, and a golden seated Buddha inside. Smaller shrines, a four-faced Brahma image and gardens stand in the grounds.
Take shoes off before entering any building and dress modestly. Published hours vary between sources, so the safest time to visit is between 9 am and 5 pm. It is about 20 minutes by Grab from central KL.
