I came to know this place, Wat Charok Padang<\/a> from my buddy, Joo Liang<\/a>.\u00a0 It is an interesting place, a Buddhist temple built with a lot of glass bottles.\u00a0 Located in Sik, Kedah, the temple is about 100km away from Penang Island, and is easily reachable using North-south Expressway.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It is frequently visited by many in the morning exspecially during Chinese New Year holidays.\u00a0 As it was a casual family trip for me, I arrived very late in the afternoon and voila, an almost empty temple!\u00a0 I did a few quick shots around the temple under the killing hot-sun before I continue my journey to Sg Petani to visit some relatives.<\/p>\n

The whole set of photos is taken with a Nikon D700 DSLR, my favourite 50mm f\/1.4 and an ultra wide 18-35mm.<\/p>\n
