#AbsolutelyFreeTrip #AbsolutelyFreeTrip
This is a historically and religiously important temple in Wang Thong District, Phitsanulok Province.
The most distinctive feature of this temple is the "sideways Buddha footprint" carved into the cliff.
Inside the temple, there is a replica of the Buddha's footprint and a statue of the Bodhisattva Kannon carved from white jade stone from Hangzhou, China, which was installed with the approval of the Chinese government.
You can also visit the shrine of the Taoist god "Hengjia" and the "Sribowachinarat Pagoda" where the Buddha's relics are enshrined.
To get there, take National Highway 12 (Phitsanulok-Lomsak section), turn left about 14 km before the Wang Thong district, and continue for another 500 meters to arrive.
This is a recommended spot for travelers who want to experience history and culture, and you can calm your mind in the quiet nature.

🍜Recommended food
🏠Recommended accommodation: Stay at B2 Phitsanulok. The accommodation is very clean and safe. I like it.
💡Precautions: Be careful not to finish the trip.
We went to Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan (Wat Yai)
and Wat Chan Tawan Tok, which are very beautiful.
Then we went to eat at Pique nique cafe. The food is delicious and not expensive. There are also refreshing soft drinks.
Visit Khao Maprang, visit the cafe, and watch the sunset. There will be bats flying out of the cave. There are a lot of them. I highly recommend you to visit.
💞Reason for recommendation: I want you to experience the slow life atmosphere. 🗓️Travel planning: I recommend planning your time.
If I have a chance, I might stop by again. I still haven't finished the trip. ##Good quality content
