Wat Khunaram – Mummified Monk
The Mummified Monk at Wat Khunaram is a special place to visit. This well known monk, Luang Pordaeng, who passed away in 1973 while meditating in a seated position is displayed in a glass case and even after 40 years his body shows very little signs of decay.
For westerners it might be a strange image seeing a dead body displayed to the public but for most buddhistic thais death is the next step in reaching the highest goal, the nirvana.
