Gurney Drive - Named after a Malayan High Commissioner that was assassinated during the Emergency in the 1950s, Sir Henry Gurney, this area is very popular at night with both locals and foreign visitors. Its main attraction is the hundreds of stalls and restaurants that offer all manner of food and dishes at reasonable rates. It comes alive at night and with the gentle breeze from the nearby waterfront, you'll soon find yourself nicely filled up. During the day, you can actually spend some time visiting two temples in the vicinity; the Wat Chaiya Mangkalaram and Dharmikarama Burmese Temple. The former is a Thai temple that houses what is believed to be the third largest Reclining Buddha. Meanwhile, the other one is a Burmese temple with its gleaming golden rooftops and a massive Boddhi tree.
