The temple was original built by King Phayu back in year 1345 to host the ashes of his lated father. The complex took today's name in year 1367 when Phra Singh Buddha statue was taken the permanent place there. The temple was then abandoned for a couple of centuries, during the Burmese rule . Its restoration finally completed in 1920s.
The Real attraction of this temple is the smaller Lai Kam worship hall behind it. It is the great example of Lanna architecture,especially the signature roof design meant to represent a bird's wings.

This temple architecture is completely different from all others in Chiangmai. The main temple structure was originally built in 1497 during the reign of Lanna King Muang Kaeo. However, over 2 centuries of Burmese occupation in the region, Burmese monks had modified the temple's structure and add 4 Burmese style lions guarding the main golden pagoda.

Wat Umong (Umong means tunnel in Thai) is among the oldest temples in the city. The temple was constructed by the Lanna King Mengrai, the founder of Chiang Mai. According to legend, there was a monk in a temple in Chiang Mai named Thera Chan whom the king regularly consulted with. As the city grew in size and became increasingly busy the monk could hardly find a quiet place to meditate. The king had Wat Umong built on the outskirts of town near the base of Doi Suthep so that the monk could meditate in peace inside the tunnel.

Doi Tung Development Project and park is opened every day of the year. However the highlight of the year is during winter season between December to January called the Colours of Doi Tung Festival. There are several activities and street markets every weekend and on public holidays.
Being there feels a little like you’re in Switzerland. From the well-manicured royal gardens, to the Swiss-inspired Royal Villa where the late HRH Princess Srinagarindra made home – it’s a place full of history, meaning, beauty and culture.
