Wat Phra Phutthabat is an iconic Buddhist temple located in Saraburi, Thailand. Built in 1624 by King Songtham of Ayutthaya, Wat Phra Phutthabat is considered a truly sacred place as it is home to the natural depression that is believed to be the footprint of the Lord Buddha. Each year, the temple hosts two main festivals - the Holy Footprint Festival and the Tak Bat Dok Mai Ceremony - attracting Buddhists and tourists alike. This spectacular temple is not only an impressive sight but also provides a window into ancient Thai traditions.
