The mummified monk

Luang Pho Daeng (Thai: หลวงพ่อแดง) was a Thai Buddhist monk who died while meditating in 1973.[1][2] His mummified body is on display at the Wat Khunaram (temple) on Ko Samui island in Thailand's Surat Thani Province. The mummy is unique for sporting a pair of sunglasses, placed by the caretakers to hide the decomposed eye sockets to make the display less disturbing.[3]
