Phra Phutthabat Shrine literally means the Buddhas Footprints. They are housed in the Mondop located on the shelf of Suwan Banphot Hill or Satchaphan Khiri Hill, Amphoe Phra Phutthabat, 31 kilometers from the provincial town. From Saraburi one takes a left turn and travels one kilometer before arriving at Amphoe Phra Phutthabat .
The footprints were discovered in the reign of King Songtham of Ayutthaya. There are two annual fairs celebrating the footprints. The first one falls on the 8th waxing moon day to the 1st waning moon day of the 3rd lunar month. The second falls on the 8th waxing moon day to the 1st waning moon day of the 4th lunar month. That many visitors are visit for prayer there.---Open daily ----
