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.
