Located in the popular tourist town of Chiang Mai, Wat Umong certainly is the largest temple in all of Thailand, and it’s also one of the most unique. The wat is built in the foothills of Suthep Mountain and much of the landscape is still heavily forested. The most fascinating feature, though, is the maze-like tunnels that lead you to the central altar. Careful, though: even a monk could find himself lost in this place of worship.
