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.

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".
