This ancient temple has a gigantic stone which local people believe is a holy stone where Lord Buddha passed away to Nirvana. In addition, it is the only place in Thailand which has a footprint of Lord Buddha made of a large plate of wood. In the temple’s area, there are ruins which are related with the Lord Buddha’s history, such as mouth-rinsing well, Ananda’s Vihara, and the folk museum. Every year in the middle of the fourth Thai lunar month, a grand holy festival will be held to pay respect to the Lord Buddha.

To get there, from Bangkok, take Highway 323 to the Tha Ruea Market Intersection. Turn right and keep along Highway 3081, between Km. 9-10.
