Brilliant temple!! Some weekends there seemed to be a market where locals would go and shop for all sorts, fruits, second hand clothes and food!! The monastery playing tradional music with kids singing and buddhist kids and monks sweeping the grounds!! A must see visit if you are ever nearby!!

Beautiful temple but lots of aggressive guard dogs which makes it quite unwelcoming. Why do monks need guard dogs? Thought they weren't supposed to own anything... 🙄

Temple that is bit far away from chiang mai but if you have time, you can come here, visit the village and vidit this temple and wat umong

Wat Pong Noi is located in Moo 13, Baan San Lem Joy. Wat Pong Noi is one of the oldest temple. In the past Wat Pong Noi has prosperity and deterioration. Wat Pong Noi having been in a deserted templefor a long time during the second world war in 1942-1943, the Japanese troops have taken possession of the temple to be used as accommodation. Therefore, the temple fell into disrepair then Wat Pong Noi was repair after the Japanese troops lost the war.

Super interesting temple off the main tourist trail. Although small it packs an interesting history and beautiful architecture. There is a collection of places to eat and drink near the temple, and two local markets that are popular with locals for food and locally made items. Worth a visit to the temple, nearby coffee house and then the market which can easily make up a good Saturday afternoon and evening exploration.

Stop over on my trek to Crying Dog Water fall. Nothing much going on there today.

Seems abandoned. Buildings are covered with dust. Compound filled with stray dogs.

Beautiful adornments at the front gates, and the temple offers their space every Saturday and Monday (from late afternoon to evening) for local vendors to set up a market. This place is hopping every day, with street stalls and local businesses. At busy hours, be very focused on the road as a driver or walker, because motorbikes and cars and other people will be turning on and off the road everywhere!

Is a pretty temple and  a flea market every Monday, Saturday.

busy market place on Saturday afternoon, variety of local produces, also from mountain people.

Too many aggressive dogs

Good temple very nice and clean
