Wat Kiri Wong Karam

This temple is noted in part for the mummified body of the Buddhist monk Loung Por Ruam, which rests here in a glass case. This venerated monk was prepared for public viewing upon his death 25 years ago, and his body remains in remarkably good condition. Follow road 4170 south from Ban Saket, then turn right between the two giant elephant statues and look for the temple 1km farther along on the right.
