Wat Phothikyan Phutthaktham is a Buddhist temple in Kampung Balai, Bachok,
Kelantan. It is better known simply as Wat Balai or Dragon Temple to
the locals, on account of the pair of dragons flanking the entrance.
Wat Phothikyan Phutthaktham began as a modest temple some twenty years
ago. It became more active when a Thai came over and started various
activities, including initiating a building fund for the temple. As a
result, it underwent massive expansion in recent years, including the
construction of a 100-foot tall statue of a standing Buddha. Other
sights at Wat Phothikyan Phutthaktham includes the wishing three, where
devotees threw their wishes onto its branches, and the seated Buddha
image behind a seven-headed dragon.
