 Mummified monk by AMOQUE
Step in this Wat for a few minutes and take a good look at this mummy. This is the first mummy I have ever seen that wears sunglasses.... It's very impressive though.
Admission to the temple is free, but guests are reminded to dress in modest clothing and remove shoes before entering. Leave a Comment Directions: On the 4169 ring road between Lamai and Chaweng.

The monk started out life as a normal family man who was married with children but in later life reverted to monkhood where he remained until his death. From there he became very highly respected by his local followers who upon his death desided to mummify his remains as a mark of respect and a simble of their beliefs.

Personally I found this a little disturbing, sort of like the mummified monk in St Peter's in Vatican. So I didn't take my shoes off again and get real close, I felt a bit wierd. If you walk around the side of the glass box apparently you can see behind his sunnies.
I found interesting that outside the entrance to the monk glass case, they have a board with money from all over the world! I was excited to see the Aussie $5 note, after being away from home for close to 6 weeks!!! Leave a Comment Directions: On the road between Nathon and Lamai

Dang Piyasilo also Phra Kru Samathakittikhun.The venerable ex-abbot of Wat Khunaram on Koh Samui.A native of Koh Samui he enjoyed a long prosperous family life until he was 50 years old when he decides to devote the last part of his life to the monkhood.After being ordain in1944,he became reknown for his meditation practice for about 20 years.He was also able to foresee his own death in1973 when he was 79 years old.After his death his body remained undecomposed so his family and deciples decided to place his body in an upright position with in the casket as requested by him in written instructions.To keep as a symbol to aspire the future generations to follow Buddhist teachings and be saved from suffering.
I'm not sure who put on the shades but very cool ndeed and another strange wonder of Thailand. Leave a Comment Directions: On the road between Nathon and Lamai
