Well worth the effort to hire a tuktuk, make sure you pay after they drop you back as we could not see any available at the Wat, spent an hour at least experiencing the tunnels and grounds, be sure to get some feed for the fish from the local vendor feed the fish , go across the bridge and feed...

I loved Wat Umong.It was so nice and peaceful and beautifully.You can feed the fish, turtles, and ducks in a large pond.

This Wat is so peaceful. There is something quite special about this underground temple and its surrounding.

Not as beautiful as other temples but an amazing history and the uniqueness of the tunnel shrines make it more than worth the visit. Just seeing the ancient temple and then visiting the many shrines underground make it worth seeing. Lots of chickens and roosters walking around!

We had a great visit and particularly enjoyed the open grounds and the chance to stroll and read some of the signs and take in the atmoshere of the Buddist culture without crowds of people all around. Certainly glad we went!

This ancient temple includes a surrounding forest and a tunnel, all of which make for a meditative spot not far from the city center.

This is a hidden gem of Chiang Mai for travelers that love temples, but don't want too crowded and touristy ones. Will definitely... More
