Wat Umong Suan Phutthatham

Worth the trip out of Chiang Mai to visit this Temple Complex. It's a nice change from the city Temples. We came here on our scooter - an easy ride.
There's quite a lot to see. The tunnels are particularly interesting.
Wear good footwear - the ground can be quite slippery in places.
We only had an hour to look around so weren't able to see it all. Give yourself a couple of hours.

This place typifies why I love about the "out of city" temples. They incorporate nature as an integral part of the environment and you get a totally different and more peaceful experience experience. This is spread out over a large area and has an unusual feature with tunnels running under the Pagoda. Lovely sound of birds singing in the trees and Cockerell calling. On the path from the entrance there are "cartoon like" illustrations each with a message about life and living.

A bit away outside the city so you need to take a Grab or scooter. A beautiful temple in a nice natural setting, but did not match my expectations, especially the caves, so giving it 4 stars. Still worth a visit though.

Love this temple, lots of wisdom sign that remind your thoughts and how to quality spend life in single day. Peaceful and easy to go, close to city you can take grab car and go there, very convenience.
We have been there on weekdays, not too much visitors.
Mindfulness, silence and good for your soul.

A beautiful temple with a small cave or a large tunnel that you can meditate in. It also has a museum of relics and inspired art. I think you can also come here if you want to be a monk. This place is huge to walk around.

Temple hidden amongst a jungle. For those who like the 'jungle temple' experience, then I would also recommend Wat Phra Lat on the Monk Trail. Very serene experience and the additional of a pond is just a cherry on top.

The cave temple is nice and cool while weather is hot outside. I went on a Sunday and there were a number of devotees and local tourists. Although it's a meditation centre, it's a little too noisy for practice on weekends.
