Wat Khunaram

Located along Route 4169 between Na Mueang and Hua Thanon, Wat Khunaram features traditional Thai architecture with ornate details and meditation halls.

The temple gained recognition in 1973 when monk Loung Pordaeng, who became ordained at age 20, passed away during meditation and requested his body be preserved.

The preserved body of Loung Pordaeng rests in a glass case, wearing sunglasses, surrounded by offerings of flowers, candles, and fruits as a symbol of Buddhist teachings.

Visitors can access the temple daily during daylight hours without paying an entrance fee, though appropriate attire covering shoulders and legs is required.

The natural mummification of Loung Pordaeng's body occurred through his meditation practices and minimal food consumption before death, preserving his form despite the tropical climate.
