    Our journey takes us to the fascinating Kunaram Temple, home to one of Thailand's most extraordinary sights—the mummified monk, a revered figure in Thai Buddhism.

This sacred site offers a unique glimpse into local spiritual beliefs, the practice of meditation, and the deep respect Thai culture holds for its religious traditions. It’s a powerful and inspiring experience you’ll never forget.
