This temple is famous for the monk Luong Pordaeng, who was mummified in a meditative pose wearing sunglasses. He is incredibly well preserved, especially considering he died in 1973. Otherwise, the temple's architecture is rather unassuming. Like all temples on Koh Samui, it is quite simple and classical, although the Wihaan (shrine) to the left of the building where the monk is buried is nicely decorated.

You either have to get there by means of transport or use shared taxis.

Wat Khunaram is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
