Chaukhtatgyi Buddha Temple

Chaukhtatgyi houses a large reclining Buddha image in Yangon’s Bahan township. The sheltered temple offers a focused view of the sculpture and a calmer stop than an open stupa platform.

Why go

The reclining Buddha is the site’s central work and gives this temple a distinct reason to visit. The government tourism listing singles it out among Yangon’s religious places, while its mapped location separates it from nearby Shwedagon and the downtown pagodas.

What to look for

  • View the reclining Buddha from within the hall.
  • Notice the scale and detail of the image at close range.

Useful to know

  • Check current temple access before traveling.
  • Behave as a guest at an active place of worship.
