Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham, Buddhist temple in Suthep, Thailand
Hidden beneath an earthen mound, this Buddhist temple features a network of tunnels with meditation chambers connected by narrow passageways.
The temple dates from the 14th century when King Mangrai established it as a meditation center for Buddhist monks away from city life.
The temple walls display ancient murals depicting Buddhist teachings, while monks conduct daily ceremonies and meditation sessions for visitors.
The temple welcomes visitors from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM daily, except on Buddhist holy days, with no entrance fee required.
Underground tunnels stretch beneath a bell-shaped stupa, creating a specialized meditation space with ancient Buddhist wall paintings from the 14th century.
