Wat Khunaram is a working Buddhist temple in southern Koh Samui, best known for the preserved body of Luang Pho Daeng, a former abbot who died in the 1970s. His body remains seated in a meditation position inside a glass case and has become one of the island’s most unusual cultural sights.

The temple itself is modest and peaceful, with traditional Buddhist buildings and an atmosphere that feels more reflective than many of Samui’s larger tourist temples.
