Wat Phothikyam Phutthaktham at Kampung Balai, Bachok, Kelantan is one of the famous Siamese temple in Kelantan. Among the locals, it is usually called Wat Balai or the Dragon Temple as the entrance to the temple has a pair of dragon.
The actual temple about 20 years ago was a simple traditional house make of wood. It was said until a Thai Buddhist came to settle over there, and start to organize various activities during festive celebrations to collect funds through donations and charity drive from the public until the temple is what it is today.
As at now, it is a tourist attraction in Kelantan. And many people of different races and places come here for it's traditional herbal steam treatment which is open to all with minimum payment via donations.
