Loung Pordaeng

We hire a car today and went around half the island. One of the places we stopped was at Wat Khunaram temple. Here the mummified body of Loung Pordaeng is kept in a glass casket in a temple building, which was specially built for this purpose. He died in 1973 aged 79. Because the eyeballs have dried out which is an unpretty sight, the mummified body is now wearing sunglasses.

More about him can be found here.
