Along the Route to Pa Sang (Highway No. 106)
Amphoe Pa Sang
Is about 10 kilometers from Lamphun. It is noted as the centre for local handicrafts and also for its beautiful and charming women. Tak Pha Buddha Footprints
The footprints are located on the top of a small hill in the area of Tambon Makok, Amphoe Pa Sang, 10 kms. from the township area. The legend says that Lord Buddha left his footprints during his visit to that locality of Lawa tribal people to pay their homages to in lieu of himself. He also dried his suffron robe on the cliff where one, at present, can see a mark like a piece of suffron robe being dried there thus originating the name of Tak Pha Buddha Footprints or Dying Suffron Robe Buddha Footprints.
Annual celebration takes place on the eight day of wanning moon of the sixth lunar month of every year, when inhabitants of Lamphun and neighbouring provinces flock to the annual fair.
