Not to be confused with the small Wat Umong in the old city, this historic forest wát is famed for its sylvan setting and its ancient chedi, above a brick platform wormholed with passageways, built around 1380 for the 'mad' monk Therachan. Keep an eye out for the Sri Lankan–style stupa, and as you wander the arched tunnels, look for traces of the original murals and several venerated Buddha images.

Opening Hours: 7.00-17.00 Wat Umong (Umong means tunnel in Thai) is among the oldest temples in the city. The temple was constructed by the Lanna King Mengrai, the founder of Chiang Mai. According to legend, there was a monk in a temple in Chiang Mai named Thera Chan whom the king regularly consulted with. As the city grew in size and became increasingly busy the monk could hardly find a quiet place to meditate. The king had Wat Umong built on the outskirts of town near the base of Doi Suthep so that the monk could meditate in peace inside the tunnel.
