Phra Phutthabat

Phra Phutthabat (Thai: พระพุทธบาท) is a district (Amphoe) located in Saraburi Province, Thailand.

The district is named after the Wat Phra Phutthabat, meaning temple of Buddha's footprint. In the 17th century a hunter found a puddle of water which looked like a (oversized) footprint. It was declared a footprint of Buddha, and the temple was built around it.

Another well-known temple in the district is Wat Tham Krabok, both as a Hmong refugee camp and as for its drug rehabilitation program.
