The footprint of the Buddha

Buddha Footprint (Kaw Lae) is a little–known and little-visited place for tourists, and indeed, most of the townsfolk have nothing to do here, there is nothing unusual at first glance. But for the locals it is a very sacred place, besides it is almost secret. It is said that this imprint and the temple are more than 300 years old. And if you are one of those who follows uncharted paths, it's worth a look here.

This is a modest temple on a hill, inside of which there are four huge footprints of the Buddha one in the other. There is nothing to see here except prints, and the temple itself can be called such with a stretch: it is a small dilapidated abandoned building. But it will be interesting for inquisitive travelers to find this place. An inconspicuous path and stairs lead to the temple. It is not high to climb, only 150 steps.

💵Entrance fee / ticket price

Admission is free, but you can leave donations in the form of coins thrown on your feet.

🚶 How to get there

You can only get there by taxi or rented transport. There is a temple in the south of the island near the 4170 road, but there are no signs. You can navigate by the position of the temple on our map (temple on the map), and also look for a small platform near the road. Leaving the transport, you will need to walk along the path to the west along the wall until you come to a leaning sign with a pointer in the direction of the temple. There begins a staircase that will lead you to the temple. When visiting the footprint of the Buddha, you should dress appropriately, because the locals and monks are constantly visiting here, and they may not let you in here.
