Wat Umong Maha Therachan, Buddhist temple in Si Phum, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Surrounded by forest, Wat Umong Macha Therachan features several traditional buildings, including a large stupa and brick tunnels throughout the temple grounds.
King Mangrai established this temple complex during the late 13th century, marking the beginning of Buddhist worship and meditation practices in this region.
Monks and visitors gather at the temple to study Buddhist teachings, meditate in the tunnels, and participate in traditional ceremonies throughout the year.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset, with parking facilities available and nominal entrance fees for those exploring the grounds.
The temple contains an intricate network of underground tunnels made from brick, which monks use for meditation sessions in a controlled temperature environment.
