Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham is a 700-year-old Buddhist temple situated in the peaceful wooded grounds of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The temple features a unique structure with 37.5 rai (15 acres) of lush grounds and ancient tunnels painted with picturesque scenes. Visitors are invited to explore its historical depths, feed the wildlife at the small lake within the grounds, witness the replica of Ashoka’s Pillar from India, and browse the library-museum full of books and artifacts representative of Buddhism and other philosophies. It’s sure to be a journey of enriching discovery!
