City: | Chiang Mai, Thailand |
---|---|
Weather: | 90°, hot and sunny |
Site: | Wat Umong |
Activity: | Exploring and bothering monks |
This might be my favorite wat so far. You enter the wat by underground passageways and emerge above an expansive brick platform to where the old chedi is. This whole complex is burried in the forest at the base of the Chiang Mai hill. We visited when the wat's monks were sweeping the grounds so that made it extra peacefull.
