Aerial Travel: Wat Phra Phutthabat In Thailand

Wat Phra Phutthabat  is a Buddhist temple in SaraburiThailand. It is among the oldest Buddhist temples in Thailand. Its name means “temple of Buddha’s footprint“, because it contains a natural depression believed to be a footprint of the Buddha.

Phra Phutthabat temple was built in 1624[1] (B.E. 2168) by King  Songtham  of Ayutthaya, after a hunter named Pram Bun found a large depression in the stone, resembling a huge footprint, near Suwan Banpot Hill or Satchaphanthakhiri Hill. The hunter reported his find to the king, who ordered workers to build a temporary mondop to cover the footprint; this later became the temple.
