Umong Temple

Wat Umong or Suan Phuttham is located on Suthep Road, Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province. This place was built during the reign of King Mangrai around 1839, which is about 700 years ago today. Later, King Kuena built a tunnel here for Phra Mahathera Chan to use as a place for meditation. Therefore, the inner wall has many passages that can be walked through. There are also old mural paintings inside the tunnel. Therefore, tourists often come to walk and admire the beauty inside the tunnel. On top of the tunnel is the 700-year-old Lanna-style pagoda, which is believed to have been built around the beginning of the 20th Buddhist century. Especially during the rainy season, lush green moss will cover the area around the temple, the pagoda, and in front of the tunnel, making this place look strangely beautiful. Tourists often come to take beautiful photos as souvenirs in front of the tunnel. #Wat Umong #Worship #Muay #Chiang Mai
