Wat Umong Chiang Mai

In addition to Chiang Mai having beautiful natural attractions that attract many tourists, there are also beautiful temples and monasteries that are unique to each other. So we would like to introduce a place to visit for those who love to make merit, which is "Wat Umong", an ancient and important site that has been in Chiang Mai for more than 700 years. Wat Umong or Suan Phutthatham 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. #chiangmai
