Thailand: Koh Samui The Mummified Monk

There are actually 2 mummified monks on the island. The most famous one is in Wat Khunaram easily accessible from the ring road. The information on wikitravel says:

This temple is the island’s most famous temple for its mummified monk on display. The mummy sits upright in a glass casket and devotees offer it flowers and incense. The mummy is in fact the body of a very revered former abbot of the temple who was also a meditation master that was able to predict his own death. His name was Luang Pho Daeng.
