Secret Monk on Samui

This place is so great that I can’t tell you Google coordinate. And even if you solve the riddle of his location, drive until the end of the middle of nowhere, then walking by rocky beach, coming through the big rock and find in this cave the Monk, you will understand me…

Monks can not take money from people and if you reach here, you can bring drinking water, food, cookies, coffee..

You will not find the coordinates of this place in Google, but you can find it on Geocaching.com.

  1. Nice pics! I was there in beginning of July 2019 and the place looks still the same.
    The owner of a small bar/restaurant in the neigbourhood told me that the monk died and his body was ‘mumified’. You can see the mummy in a Wat.
    It’s not the commercial mummified monk so here are no tourists :).
