Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha

Wat Phra Phutthabat Tak Pha () is a Buddhist temple in Makok in Lamphun province, Thailand. It received official recognition on 25 October 1973 and became a third-class royal temple of the common type on 31 May 1978.

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.

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.

Somes scenes in the 1988 film Rambo III were filmed at the temple.
