About
快速信息: Visitors often notice the cool, incense-scented air and hushed courtyard, then do a double-take at a glass case holding a saffron-robed, preserved figure. Monks and travelers describe the figure's remarkably peaceful expression and intact features, a sight that sparks quiet curiosity rather than spectacle.
亮点: Luang Pho Daeng's mummified body has been on display since 1973, clothed in saffron robes under a clear glass case that makes the face, hands, and folded posture clearly visible. A faint smell of incense and the gentle creak of teak floors set a contemplative mood, and local monks sometimes gather nearby to explain his discipline as a vivid lesson in impermanence.
Insider tips
- Dress modestly, cover shoulders and knees, and remove shoes before entering shrine buildings.
- Photograph the mummified monk without flash, stay behind barriers, and ask before photographing worshippers.
- Arrive early to avoid tour buses and the midday heat, or go late afternoon for softer light.
- Use a scooter or taxi shared with other nearby temples to keep transport costs low.
