Supposedly one of the largest Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia, Wat Phothivihan boasts a 40m-long reclining Buddha statue, erected in 1973. There are some smaller shrines within the grounds, as well as a canteen and a rest house for use by sincere devotees, for a donation.
Take bus 19 or 27 from Kota Bharu to Chabang Empat. Get off at the crossroads and turn left (southwest). Walk 3.5km along this road until you reach Kampung Jambu and the reclining Buddha (about one hour).
