This very old and dusty temple, once again down on the south side of the island, is not as well known as the the Wat Kunaram a few hundred metres down the road. Very few visitors except for certain festivals during the year. It houses a marble Buddha, but its most distinctive attraction is the Secret Hall of Buddhas, where you can just about get in the door for the old relics. Thre is a large sitting Buddha and a reclining one surroundes by dozens of smaller ones. Seems almost to be a classroom with the large sitting Buddha dispensing his knowledge. On the other side of the road down another track, apparently there is a coral Buddha also belonging to the same Wat Samret. I didn't make the trip because rain!!!

Situated on route 4169 before Wat Kunaram coming from Lamai and Hua Thanon. The sign is pretty well hidden in the undergrowth on the left.

Wat Kunaram is a small temple which was in the process of renovation when we visited.It is well known because the mummified monk is located here but in a seperate building. Admission is free .You can also buy flowers and josticks to pay respect to the monk if you wish.
