A bit about Rio Et.

The forest park is a great ride. My two cents worth this is a little town with a heart of gold. Issan at it’s best

Roi Et

Once a prosperous and extensive community but ravaged by floods, Roi Et has made a come-back as a town of great promise, with its huge Thung Kula Rong Hai (flat-land) being developed into a fertile and productive land. Roi Et is 512 kilometers from Bangkok.

Thung Kula Rong Hai

is a huge flat-land covering four provinces, Surin, Roi Et, Maha - Saraham and Buriram, with an area of about one million acres. The name literally means the Weeping Field of the Kula (a tough nomad people). For it was scorching dry in the summer and totally inundated during the rainy season, with no natural water sources or tall trees to provide shade. However, it has been partially developed developed for agricultural purpose through a land reform project to turn it into a vast productive farming area.

Cheddi Chai Muang Kai:

I really can’t do justice to this we have 100’s of photos from our first visit it’s work in progress, supported by the local entrance fee when were there was 0 free. I didn’t understand the difference between a Cheddie and a Wat, based on what I saw here this is a fortress designed to protect the province high on a hill with a view of the entire valley. Double defensive wall surrounding it.
