Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha
Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha (Thai: วัดพระพุทธบาทตากผ้า) is a Buddhist temple in Makok in Lamphun province, Thailand.[1] It received official recognition[a] on 25 October 1973 and became a third-class royal temple of the common type[b] on 31 May 1978.[2] The name of the temple refers to a footprint of the Buddha (Phutthabat) within the temple grounds and to the belief that the Buddha once dried his robes (tak pha) nearby.[3] The temple's chedi sits at the top of a steep hill. It can be reached by climbing a Nāga staircase of 469 steps or by taking the road on the other side.[3][1][4] Somes scenes in the 1988 film Rambo III were filmed at the temple.[5] NotesReferences
