This temple complex is well worth the visit, if you are in the area. We have visited many, many temples throughout Thailand and can easily say that this is one of the most beautiful. It's size is great, yet everything is in proportion. There is a lot of detail everywhere you look. It is very pleasant to just sit in one place and take in all that is in front of you. Unfortunately, when we were there they were repairing the temple's dome. But, it was still very beautiful. There is also a small bus to take you from the parking area up to the temple and then return later. In the parking area there are place to purchase drinks, snacks and some souvenirs.

This wat contains a veritable treasury of art and archectural gems. Very serence with only a few people. I would have thought the temple would have been more crowded, but evidently it does not resonate with locals I could have set under a tree here for hours.

This museum displays story of the city in three main themes by three storeyed exhibition. It's only me as a visitor on sunday, the officers are very friendly and helpful. At the beginning , there is geographical display of Roi Et landscape and its underground treasures: potaz, kaolin , etc. at the other section, exhibition is about how come the city , main governors in the past, utensils, pictures from the past about the city. On the second floor, display continues about prehistoric era, Khmer influence on this land and highlight is the golden five-headed Naka amulet. The top floor is the story of silk, Boon Pa Vade story. I spent time here excitingly.
