Wat Umong Wat U Mong was built in a forested secluded place at the base of the sacred mountain Doi Suthep as a meditation temple and as such it does not have the usual features of temple grounds. The temple structures are well surrounded by forest trees and a lake. Wat Umong is also known as the “Tunnel Temple,” both for its unique network of underground tunnels and its location in the forest. There is a large stupa to visit, as well as “talking trees,” which feature words of wisdom in both Thai and English. Monks here live in a very natural setting, among deer and ponds full of fish and turtles. Wat Umong is one of my favorite temples in Chiang Mai and I visit it every time I am in town. I love particularly the shady temple grounds, the temple peaceful settings and the serene and peaceful atmosphere.
