## 🛕 Wat Umong – A temple in the middle of the forest in Chiang Mai, peaceful and cool in the true Lanna style
“Wat Umong” or “Wat Suan Phutthatham” is located in Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province. It is an ancient temple over **700 years old** built during the reign of **Phra Mangrai**, the founder of Chiang Mai.
This is not only a sacred place, but also a “peaceful space” that truly heals the mind. 🧘♂️🍃
### 🌿 What makes Wat Umong special:
🔸 **Underground tunnel**
When you walk in, it’s like you’ve entered another world. The atmosphere is cool, peaceful, and quiet, perfect for praying and worshiping the Buddha inside.
🔸 **Ancient Lanna-style pagoda**
Located above the tunnel, it stands out and is beautiful, just like an old temple in Chiang Mai. Every angle you take pictures of is beautiful.
🔸 **Large trees & nature trails**
The temple is surrounded by nature, with green moss covering the old walls. It’s so quiet you can hear your own breath, perfect for a slow walk. Or do Deep Focus meditation
🔸 **Dharma teachings on trees**
Dharma quotes along the path help remind us to reflect on life in every step we take.

If anyone is “tired” or “needs a break from the chaos of the world”, I recommend that you try walking around Wat Umong once. Then you will understand what “peace” really looks like. 🧡
