This figure is massive - but it is in a huge pagoda so you are able to get a sense of the whole figure. When we visited, it was not at all crowded. The patterns on the feet - I believe they call it the footprint - were not something I had seen before. Well worth a visit, whether you have 10 minutes or a couple of hours to spare.

My wife and I visited this place during our recent holiday in Yangon. This large statue is impressive to look at and has detailed prints on the soles of the feet.
There are also many ornaments to look at near the walls of the enclosure.

Went to see the large (65 meter or about 200 feet) Reclining Buddha with glass eyes, eye lashes and painted nails. Called Chaukhtatgyi. Forty-three statues on front side showing the mudras or representation of Buddha hand positions.

This Buddha statue, which is situated in a stunning pagoda, is so much larger in real life than it appears in photos. It requires contemplation and admiration, particularly due to the attention to detail in color and body situation. Also wander around the pagoda to admire the smaller statues and other artwork, including the architecture, and soak in the history and spirituality of the place.

Had the honour and privilege to visit this famous lying Buddha.
The people who took all the trouble to build such a great monument must be congratulated.
Great place for solemn prayer .
Worthwhile a visit if ever you are in Yangon.
Thanks and warm regards,

There used to be a temple at this place with a statue of the man who donated and build it, but they decided it was too ugly and build a new one. Funny story - you can see the pictures of the old temple.
There are also a lot of beautiful pictures of other buddas from various places - this is very nice to have a look at.
The mail attraction is of course the gigantic budda filling up most of the room. You can enter a small view platform to get a full picture of it. There is also a view from the back of the building to the city.

It’s a pretty cool giant Buddha - I think it’s 66m and actually seeing it in person was great. But once you have seen it, not quite sure, how Long you may spend there, as there isn’t much else that goes with it. But certainly a must see when touring around Yangon.

I thought Buddha is alive . This Buddha statue is mesmorising. There is a big story about the Eyes of the Buddha. Person who owns a Glass company has done the eyes of the Buddha. Beautiful is not the word. Any one who visit this place will not leave the Buddha .

It is the most beautiful reclining Buddha with a slightly feminine features. Difficult to capture the whole structure on camera. Also it has the feet of Lord Buddha. Beautiful place to visit. You have to remove your shoes before entering

Besides Shwedagon Pagoda, I’ use to visitting Chaukhtatgyi Pagoda ( well known as Reclining Buddha Pagoda ). There is no entrance fee for the expatriate. You can feel peaceful when you first step inside.

Do you know opening hours ? It’s open on 1 /1/2020?
Thanks a lot

I buddisti seguono un calendario lunare che non dà al primo gennaio un particolare significato. È quindi molto probabile che non sia un giorno "festivo" e di chiusura, ma abbia il consueto orario diurno che, se non ricordo male, va dalle 9 del mattino alle 7 di sera. Ciao

What are the opening hours of this pagoda? until what time is it open?
Written November 20, 2016
Hi there, if this is the Buddha i am thinking of it should open at 7am and close at 10pm daily.i think this buddha is located in the Kyauk That Gyi Pagoda an the shwegondang road. The Nga That Gyi Pagoda is around 150-200mtrs away on the same road so you can visit both of them in the same morning or afternoon.
Outside the buddha you asked about there are a few street food sellers where you can get a cold drink and a roti , well worth the sugar fix on a hot day.

How much time is required for visiting Chaukhtatgyi Buddha? and How much is the taxi ride from downtown?
Thank you.
Written November 19, 2016
I would say the visit needs 1 hour at most. It is a small place and it really depends on how much time you will take for photos and looking around. We had a guide for the day but it takes around 20-30 minutes from down town. Good luck !
