A Visit at Wat Umong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Wat Umong, two to three kilometers outside the old city’s walls on the Doi Suthep Road (turn left on a road opposite to the entrance of Chiang Mai University campus), is well-known among the travellers (written in the guides) for its Sunday afternoon monks’ talks (from 3.00 to 5.00 p.m.) around the interior lake of this Buddhist temple situated in the middle of a small forest area. It was for this reason that I first went to this temple nine years ago during my initial trip to Chiang Mai. Then I remember going back twice or three times since during each of my stays in The Rose of the North (Chiang Mai); for a monk’s talk or simply to walk around reading the Buddhist masters’s quotes written on small woody boards nailed on the trees or simply to meditate sitting around the huge stone Chedi built on the little hill in the middle of the temple.
