Per their website: "This Thai architecture houses a 180-foot gold-plated statue of the reclining Buddha, Pra Buddhachaiya Mongkul - said to be one of the longest in the world. The reclining Buddha represents Pra Buddhachaiya Mongkul, the historical Buddha, at his death. This symbolizes complete peace and detachment from the world."

Huge reclining Buddha statue

The huge 33 meter long reclining Buddha statue at Wat Chayamangkalaram in Georgetown is one of the largest reclining Buddhas in the world. To me, it is the sightseeing highlight of a visit to Penang. Interestingly, although this is Malaysia, this temple is a Thai Buddhist temple that was built to promote relations between the two countries.
