Wat Khunaram — the mummified monk
Luang Pho Daeng died in meditation in 1973 and sits in a glass case, sunglasses on, exactly as he asked to be left. Odd, calm, and entirely serious.
Open≈ 1.6 km
The second zipline course, strung above the Na Muang valley — easy to bolt onto a waterfall morning.
The second zipline course, strung above the Na Muang valley in the middle of the island. Its advantage is geography: it is a few minutes from both waterfalls, so a single morning covers cables and water.
Shorter than the Hin Lad circuit and closer to the ring road, with the jungle of the interior below. Combine it with Na Muang 1 for an easy morning, or with Na Muang 2 if you want the climb as well.
Same valley as Na Muang 1 and 2; do all three in one trip.
The valley access road is shared with the trekking camp; make sure the pick-up is taking you to the zipline and not to the elephants.
