Tips from locals
This is a less popular site, but a sweet place. There's a mummified monk here and you can get blessed by one of the monks in residence. Google Maps: FW4P+C8V
One of the oldest Buddhist temple, monasteries on Samui and also has a mummified monk to see. Follow road west then north toward Nathon, turn left under Elephant Gate to Taling Ngam village and after 2 km it is on the right. Close to Am Samui resort and Island View restaurant for a day trip.
Wat Kiri Wongkaram is another temple where you can find the mummy of a monk. However, this place is far less visited, so you can experience a more authentic atmosphere here. Szabo, Pavel.
