Wat Phra Buddhabat 

One of the holiest places of Thailand and a jewel of Thai architecture! It is considered to contain one of only 5 worldwide 'genuine' footprints of Buddha . There is lots of pilgrims at this temple, making merit by ringing the many bells on the terrace. The name of the temple derives from the Sanskrit meaning of a symbolic presence of Buddha.
