It is a temple located on a hill, but not very high. We had to park the car at the bottom. Be careful while driving as there are quite a few monkeys. After parking, we paid respects to the Buddha at the bottom and then went up to see Phra Phutthachai. There is also a reclining Buddha. On the way back down, there is another path to pay respects to the Buddha's footprint on the other side. The path is also filled with monkeys, but at the top, you get a 360-degree view and there is a pond where monkeys enjoy bathing.😁😁

When the Buddha's shadow was discovered, a pavilion was built to cover the royal portrait as a place of worship for Buddhists, including later kings and high-ranking members of the royal family. From the chronicles, it is clear that "King Sua, together with members of the royal family and The royal officials traveled to pay homage to the Buddha's image and then went to pay homage to the Buddha's footprint, etc., until the last king of the Ayutthaya period, King Ekathat, he traveled to pay homage to the Buddha's image before the fall of Ayutthaya 3 years (2307 B.E.) as appears in the Ayutthaya Chronicles, Panchantamas (Chiem) version, page 484, which states in the chapter "Celebrating the Buddha's Image" about the Buddha's image that in the reign of King Suriyamarin, "In the first month, he went to pay homage to the Buddha's image for 3 days, etc., then he returned to celebrate the Buddha's footprint for 7 days.

During the time of the Buddha, when the Buddha was residing at the Buppararam Temple in the city of Savatthi, he ordained Phra Bindola as a Buddhist monk and assigned Phra Moggallana to take him to practice ascetics until he achieved the path and the results. Phra Moggallana took him to practice ascetics in many places in the Indian subcontinent, but he could not achieve the path and the results. Therefore, he came to practice ascetics in the remote countryside, selecting Suvarnabhumi (Thailand) at the Ghātaka Mountain, where the hunter Ghātaka and his followers lived. Therefore, he achieved the path and the results as an Ariya person in Buddhism. While he was practicing ascetics at the place, Phra Moggallana learned that the behavior of the hunter Ghātaka and his followers was rough, cruel, and brutal, and was a hunter by profession. Phra Moggallana performed many miracles to make the hunter Ghātaka believe in him, but he was unsuccessful until he returned to see the Buddha. Then he reported the story to the Lord Buddha. The Lord Buddha came to teach him and performed many miracles to make the hunter Khataka abandon his arrogant and coarse views. Finally, he had faith and was ordained as a monk. The Lord Buddha granted him the Ehi Bhikkhu Upasampada (ordination by himself) and taught him to practice the Dhamma and achieve Arahantship as an Ariya in Buddhism. When the Lord Buddha was about to return to the Eastern Palace, Khataka asked to follow him. The Lord Buddha forbade him to help spread the religion. Khataka asked for something to worship and respect. The Lord Buddha performed a miracle to leave his shadow on the mountain and left his "footprint" on the mountaintop. It will be a place of worship for Khataka and his followers, as well as Buddhists in general. #meritmaking #makingmeritandworshiping
