Located right in front of the Dhammikarama, about 3 kilometres from the center of Georgetown, Wat Chaiyamangalaram is famous for its huge statue of Buddha, which lies 33 metres in length, entirely gold-plated, and is by far the most popular Buddha in Bangkok. The reclining Buddha represents his death, and symbolises peace, and the attainment of Nirvana. The main room is really huge, with shrines to minor Buddhist deities, and a floor depicting lotus flowers. The entrance to the temple is free, and you'll need to go barefoot.
