Wat Umong was built in 1296 by King Meng Rai which is situated in a rural forest on Jalan Suthep and Wat Umong itself was renovated during the reign of King Keu Na. This old temple founded in 1296 during the reign of King Mengrai is now widely known as a meditation center frequented by Buddhists from all over the world to meditate amidst its peaceful atmosphere and minimalist building. Around the Wat Umong Area, you will also find many historical artifacts and architecture, such as the Asok Pillar dedicated to the Indian King Asok Maharaja who was a devout Buddhist. Not forgetting “U-Mong” which is an architecture similar to an ancient tunnel built to create a quiet atmosphere. So this place is also known as a good Meditation Center.

Wat Umong, a unique temple in Chiang MaiWat Umong got its name from having tunnels (or “umong” in Thai) at the base of the main pagodas. It sets in a lush garden with own reservoir. It is believed to be built, deserted, and restored in several periods, so you can witness ruins (400-600 years old), pagodas, Buddhist artifacts, courtyard with an Ashoka Pillar replica, Buddhism teaching gallery and library. I think this combination makes Wat Umong unique and draws attention of visitors. Its accociation with revered Thai monks should also contribute to its good reputation. For me, the most important take was its history since 1947, which explains how a group of strong believers in Buddhism restored this temple to its current glory. It is located 3-4km from Suan Dok Gate (the western side of the Chiang Mai moat). My hostel “Insight Hostel” that I booked through trip.com is in a walking distance, so I walked there. This hostel is very suitable if you also intend to explore the area at the back of Chiang Mai University, where you can experience great student vibes especially at night. As it is an active temple, admission is free. Donation is encouraged to keep the decent state of maintenance. Minimum 1 hour is needed to make a quick tour of the whole compound. I suggest 2-3 hours if you want to appreciate it more, but the signposting in English is rare.Win Bkk15
Wat Umong: 700 years of HistoryWalk through tunnels worth 700 years of history in one of the pillars of Buddhism in Thailand, Wat Umong. Situated just a kilometer from Chiang Mai University, it’s one of the most significant temples of the Lanna Kingdom in Northern Thailand. Inside it are tunnel networks that pass through the compound where you’ll find statues of Buddha himself. From the outside it is covered with carpets of moss and crowned with a tall structure right over it. Currently it serves as an animal sanctuary and a nature reserve for visitors to see. Visiting the place makes you feel the rich history of the place, it felt so old it’s walls have seen most of history happening in its face.Yong Mariano16

~ วัดอุโมงค์Wat Umong or Suan Phuttha Tham is located on Suthep Road, Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province. It was built during the Mangrai period in 1839. Later, Phaya Kue Na He built a tunnel here for Phra Maha Therachan to use as a place for meditation. The internal walls are therefore multiple passages that can pass through each other. There are also ancient wall paintings inside the tunnel as well. Tourists often come to see the beauty inside the tunnel. and take beautiful photos back from this corner of the temple At the top of the tunnel is the 700-year-old chedi of Lanna art. It is assumed that it was built around the beginning of the 20th Buddhist century. The surrounding area is beautiful with many trees. The atmosphere is very refreshing and shady, especially during the rainy season when lush green moss will cover the area around the temple, pagoda and in front of the tunnel.

The unique tunnel temple of ThailandAmong the hundreds of Buddhist temples in Chiang Mai, the Wat Umong or “Tunnel temple” is unique because of its location in the forest and it is outside the city walls and its system of underground tunnels which is known for. The serene and peaceful atmosphere at the 13th century forest temple near Doi Suthep mountain provides a welcome change from the much visited sites in Chiang Mai. A number of tunnels dug out of a mound contains shrines with Buddha images, where devotees can pay their respect to the Buddha. #templeblessed#ancientlandmark#lanternshow#nightphotoguide#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorerTravelerKid8
I'm enjoying the slow life in Chiang MaiI ended my employment with the entire company at the end of April, and finally, I can take a holiday for myself. Before setting off, I looked at many destinations, but in the end, I chose Chiang Mai. Previously, I only traveled to Europe and America, never to Thailand, so this time I chose Chiang Mai, Thailand. The reason for choosing this place is to pick a small city with a slow pace of life and to visit those temples that are several hundred years old. I have been in Chiang Mai for 3 days now, and have visited Wat Chedi Luang, Tha Phae Gate, Wat Phra Singh, Wat Phan Tao, Wat Umong, and Wat Phasing. This weekend, I plan to go to the JJ Market to have a look.TechCrafter
Wat Umong, among the over 300 temples in Chiang Mai, exudes a unique auraThe revered monks believe that forests are more suitable for spiritual practice than temples. Nestled at the foot of Doi Suthep, Wat Umong is hidden in the woods, offering a world of serene tranquility and rustic charm. 'Umong' means 'tunnel' in Thai, and this secluded temple has a history of 700 years, also known as Wat U Mong. It is Mr. Jiang Xun's favorite temple in Chiang Mai, which he aptly named 'Temple of No Dreams', reflecting its spirit of simplicity and desirelessness. With a humble heart, walking into the tunnel in slippers, one can faintly hear the sound of dripping water. Some caves are so low that one must bow and hunch to pass through, and the triangular niches carved into the walls on both sides of the tunnel have been blackened by candle smoke. Bats hang upside down from the cave ceiling, listening to the devotees' confessions to the Buddha statues. This primitive simplicity is solemn and serene. Upon entering the Wat Umong area, please slow down and lower your voice, as the atmosphere of Buddhist studies is intense here, with many foreign practitioners coming to meditate. Some meditate under the shade of trees, while a flock of free-range chickens passes by in front of them. Wat Umong is not grandiose, but it covers a considerable area, with a library, art gallery, science center, and more. Walking on the moss-covered paths, everywhere you look are traces of years and time.zephyrion_4356
The tunnel temple of Wat Umong in Chiang Mai is breathtaking🛕 The Wat Umong located in the suburbs of Chiang Mai is a very unique temple. 🌿 Unlike other Theravada Buddhist temples in Thailand that are ornate and glittering with gold, Wat Umong is hidden in an ancient forest, surrounded by a lake, extremely quiet, simple and serene, known as the 'forest temple'. 🧘🏻♀️ In Thai, Umong means 'tunnel', and instead of having a glittering main hall, the temple enshrines gods and Buddhas within the tunnels in the walls, as if seeking a path to inner peace amidst the bustling city. 🗿 Outside the tunnels, in the forest, there are many damaged Buddha statues. These statues are precious relics brought from various places by a master of the temple over 100 years ago. These damaged Buddha statues are scattered around, creating an interesting contrast with the mossy ground and the dancing shadows of the trees. 🎐 A stupa stands tall on the temple wall, with a base that has been weathered by time. The stupa, devoid of any superfluous decoration, gives a feeling of raw simplicity and emanates a solemn and profound atmosphere. It seems as if the world has forgotten this place, only to remember it after many years. And it, on the other hand, has always been waiting at the corner of Suthep Mountain, waiting for people to return.Br@nd0n D.@z

Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham#songkran2024 The oldest temple in Chiang Mai, quite hidden and not crowded, solemn, beautiful. Very beautiful old temple area. When we went there was a modern art exhibition in the tunnel. They have a pond where you can feed fish as well (and a big python swimming in it). Quite exciting! :-) it's just a short walk to the animal sanctuary and even older temple ruins of you fancy.Tala_Travel10
Wat Umong: A tunnel temple hidden in the forest.Chiang Mai's favorite temple, I always stay here for a long time every time I come. The quiet feeling is like having a full day of meditation, washing away the irritability in the hustle and bustle of the city. 🚗🚗 Transportation: On the west side of the ancient city, it's easy to get there by tuk-tuk but not easy to leave, so it's recommended to take a taxi using Maxim or Grab. When leaving, call ahead about ten minutes and locate yourself at the main entrance on the main road. It's easy to catch a ride when you come out, otherwise the driver may not find you. Because the distance to the ancient city is not far and the road conditions are good, it's also recommended to rent a motorcycle to ride over, which is very convenient. 💰💰 Ticket: The main hall of the temple charges foreign tourists 20 baht per person for admission, which is used as a donation. Local Thai people are exempt from the fee. However, the adjacent tower does not charge admission, and visitors can enter the main hall through the back door behind the tower. ☕️🍛 Dining: Inside the Wumeng Temple, there are many food trucks selling drinks at the same price as outside, and the business is very honest. On both sides of the main road outside the temple, there are cafes and local restaurants. Although the temple is remote, there is no need to worry about food and drink. 🔺🔺 tips: Outside the main hall, there is an area to the right of the entrance with many small Buddha statues that were previously offered as tribute, as well as old abandoned Buddha heads placed randomly but with a strong sense of atmosphere. Take some time to slowly take photos.Isla_Wild3r1

My favourite temple of Chiangmai. A lot of greenery and chickens haha. I like here has a lot of quotes hanging on the trees and the tunnel temple is so cool.
Located at the foot of Sutiao Mountain, the Buddhist atmosphere is strong, known as "forest monastery". Surrounded by large forests and a lake, it is absolutely quiet, simple and quiet, which is very suitable for meditation and meditation. The base of the pagoda contains a tunnel through the flat-topped mountains, which is said to have been built by a monk around 1380 AD, and the temple is named for it.
Wat Umong is quiet and peaceful, with a spacious area to walk around with a lot of tourists. The temple is similar to a place of meditation as well.
A temple that should not be missed When arriving in Chiang Mai, peaceful, shady, the Buddha's garden of the Buddha slaves, a lot of parking spaces, and there are beautiful old pagodas. Inside there is a reservoir. Refreshing Shady when visiting
U Mong means "tunnel" in Thai, hence the name Wat U Mong. Situated at the foot of Doi Suthep, the temple is surrounded by large forests and lake water. But the temple is a little deep, either navigate or strike a Song Tie. The Buddha statues of other houses are all in the Buddha Hall. This one is in the tunnel, taking off shoes and entering. The temple in the tunnel, the first time to see. The masonry on the top of the wall is mottled with history. In the Buddhist hall, it is very suitable for meditation. Today, I saw two temples, one is Shuanglong Temple on Mount Su Tie, the other is Wumeng Temple under Mount Su Tie, the other is Wumeng Temple on Mount Su Tie, the other is rich and honorable gate, with endless guests, lively and extraordinary, the other is like a hermit in the world, quiet in the world, simple and quiet. PS - "In Chiang Mai there is also a imitated monastery of the same name, built in the old city, a smaller scale. To get a ride to this monastery and let the driver know what you mean, you have to make it clear that you are going to "Wat U Mong Thera Jan".
Quiet, a lot of tourists Not far away, convenient to travel. If you recommend us that going during the rainy season, it will be more beautiful.
