Wat Khunaram, on the ring road in the south, is famous for the preserved body of Luang Pho Daeng, a revered monk who died in meditation in 1973 and whose remarkably intact remains sit upright in a glass case, wearing sunglasses. Far from morbid, the display is treated as an inspiring reminder of the monk's devotion, and the temple is calm and welcoming. Dress modestly and remember it is an active place of worship.
