Wat Oo-Mong, Chiang Mai

Wat Oo-Mong is an ancient temple in the forest just outside Chiangmai. King Mengrai built this temple for a highly respected forest monk. The monk was not able to practice Lord Buddha's teaching in the city, so the king built a temple in an isolated area for the monk to stay quietly and meditate.
