Roi Et is the province located in the middle part of north east Thailand, and established over 200 years ago. It used to be a very large and glorious city named Saket Nakhon having 11 city gates and 11 satellite cities or subordinated communities under it's ruling. Since there have been several developments in various aspects continuously from the past thus changing it into a strange place where one can hardly trace its original features.
Roi Et is administratively divided into 17 Amphoe's and two King Amphoe's: Muang Roi Et, Kaset Wisai, Pathum Rat, Chaturaphak Phiman, Thawat Buri, Phanom Phrai, Phon Thong, Selaphum, Suwannaphum, At Samat, Nong Phok, Muang Suang, Pho Chai, Phon Sai, Moeiwadi, Amphoe Si Somdet ,Amphoe Janghan, King Amphoe Chiang Khuan, king Amphoe Nong Hee and King Amphoe Tungkao Luang. There are partial areas of four Amphoe's located in Kula Ronghai Field, they are Suwannaphum, Kaset Wisai, Pathum Rat, Phon Sai. Roi Et occupies an area of 8,299.50 square kilometres.
The history of Muang Roi Et started around late Ayutthaya period, i.e., a king of Laos with his people migrated from Champasak City to settle down in the area which is currently Amphoe Suwannaphum. Later, during the reign of King Taksin of Thon Buri era Muang Roi Et was moved to the present site while Muang Suwannaphum is still located at its original location till now. In addition to historical evidences, there have been findings of archaeological evidences showing that the area used to be the habitat of pre-historic people. It was also under the influence of ancient Khmer kingdom due to several findings of Khmer style archaeological sites as Ku Phra Kona, Amphoe Suwannaphum; Ku Kasing, Amphoe Kaset Wisai; Prang Ku, Amphoe Thawatchaburi; etc.
Wat Buraphaphiram It is located in Roi Et city. The third class royal temple was formerly known as Wat Hua Ro and was later renamed as Wat Buraphaphiram. There is the tallest standing Buddha image in Thailand known as Phra Phuttha Rattanamongkhon Mahamuni or Luangpho Yai, which was built with reinforced concrete in the blessing attitude. The Buddha image is 59.2 metres tall and if the base is included, it would be 67.85 metres tall. There is a museum at the base. Luangpho Yai is highly revered by the people of Roi Et.
Somdet Phra Srinakarindra Park, Roi Et It is a public park in the heart of the city, located in front of the city hall. The park was founded in 1986 on an area of 225 rai. It is decorated with a variety of flowers and shady trees. The highlight is the fountain in the middle of the park and a clock tower. There is also a public library. The park is used as a venue for various cultural occasions and events of the province.
The Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol or the Great, Victorious and Auspicious Pagoda is one of the largest Chedi's ( pagoda ) in Thailand. It is located on the grounds of the Wat Pha Namthip Thep Prasit Vararam, a temple complex in Roi Et province in rural North Eastern Thailand. This huge Chedi is 101 meters long, 101 metres wide and 101 metres high and was built on a plot measuring 101 Rai, which is about 40 acres. The number 101 comes from the name of the province it is located in, Roi Et, which means 101 in Thai. The Chedi, which is also known as Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon is highly revered in Roi Et province, since relics of the Buddha are contained in the top of the pagoda. The fairly new Chedi was designed by the Department of Fine Arts, and was built to serve as a centre of learning for Buddhist monks. The very elegantly shaped Chedi is painted in white colour and very elaborately decorated in golden coloured artwork in modern style. Surrounding the Chedi are eight smaller pagodas. The finial on top of the Chedi is made of 60 kilos of pure gold. The Chedi and temple are located on top of Nam Yoi cliff, from where you will have a wonderful view of the surrounding rural area.

How to get to Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol; ~
The Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol in the Wat Pha Namthip Thep Prasit Vararam temple complex is located in Nong Phok district, some 80 kilometres from Roi Et town. Getting to the Chedi by public transportation from Roi Et town could be a hassle, by far the most convenient and comfortable option is to hire an air conditioned car with driver to take you there. Most hotels will be able to arrange one for you. Agree on the price before leaving.
Admission & opening hours The Chedi is open daily from 6 am until 5 pm. Entrance fee is 20 Baht per person

Wilhelm Germanovich Stoll (February 18, 1842, Radziwillov, Volyn Governorate – c. 1920, Grafskaya village near Voronezh) was a Russian industrialist, innovative entrepreneur, public figure, philanthropist, patron of the arts, and athlete.
German by origin. Personal nobleman. Since 1844, his parents settled in Voronezh. Stoll's father, Herman Friedrichovich, was the city's chief doctor, who did a lot for the development of health care in Voronezh. Wilhelm's sister, Anna, is the great-grandmother of the musician M. L. Rostropovich.
V. G. Stoll received an excellent technical education. He graduated from the Voronezh gymnasium, studied at the physics and mathematics department of St. Petersburg University, and completed his education in Berlin. Then he did an internship in Europe.
In 1869, he opened a workshop that gradually grew into the largest enterprise in the Russian Empire for the production of agricultural equipment, producing ploughs, harrows, straw cutters, hydraulic presses, equipment for mills, flour mills on a cast-iron pedestal, oil and diesel engines (the latter with a capacity of up to 130 horsepower), steam engines, hydraulic oil presses and even equipment for power plants and cinematography. The factory was constantly modernized. In 1879, Stoll's factory was the first in Voronezh to use a steam engine.
In 1883-1891, Wilhelm Stoll was a member of the Voronezh City Duma.
At the end of the 19th century, the city’s first joint-stock company, V. G. Stoll and Co., was organized on the basis of the “Partnership of the Mechanical Plant Stoll and Company,” where he became a co-owner.
It included German, Swedish, English, French, and American companies. In the early 1900s, in addition to the Voronezh plant, the company owned a large plant in Chelyabinsk and warehouses in 80 settlements. In terms of labor productivity and authority in the industrial world, there was no more powerful Voronezh company at that time. Warehouses with its branded agricultural machinery were located throughout the Russian Empire from Warsaw to Vladivostok. Its products won the most prestigious awards at international exhibitions.
V. G. Stoll was not only a successful manufacturer, but also an active figure in the field of charity. From 1895, he financed the Voronezh branch of the Mariinsky Guardianship of the Blind, and in 1897, he built an eye hospital at his own expense.
Stoll allocated large funds for the maintenance of the "School for the Blind", which occupied the building where the Voronezh Museum of Local History is now located.
At the end of the 19th century, V.G. Stoll moved with his wife to a dacha estate at Grafskaya station.
The history of the Voronezh children's sanatorium, which is still operating today, began with this dacha. Stoll gave most of his dacha estates to it. A shelter-school for blind girls was opened in the main mansion, where they were taught music, embroidery and massage by teachers specially invited from the capital. These skills were supposed to help the blind adapt to independent life. A family atmosphere reigned in the shelter. Theatrical productions were staged with the participation of blind girls as actresses.
Wilhelm Stoll was also the organizer of a cycling club in Voronezh (1883). Thanks to him, the first bicycles appeared in Voronezh and mass competitions began to be held among fans of this new sport at that time. Wilhelm Stoll died around 1920, while in his country house in the village near the Grafskaya station. He was buried near the Tolshevsky Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery. The grave has not survived.

There's a $500 fine for walking on the dunes. But bulldozing them away to build a half million dollar house .... that's OK. I know, it's my fault as much as anyone's, since I keep coming back here year after year and renting the houses they build (though I don't rent the ones that are built in the dunes).
Not one of the several pictures of this series included our entire bodies. They were also all at an angle so I had to rotate the pictures 10-15 degrees. I am literally thinking of putting together a brief presentation on how to take good pictures to also deliver.
Protest is held in Colombo today ~ 6th September 2011 to highlight the issues related to current development process in Sri Lanka. The protest is organised by Land Forum of Sri Lanka, National fisheries Solidarity Movement and Praja Abhilasha Network. Fishermen, Farmers and activists participated actively in today’s protest.
“In post war Sri Lanka, the government development plans are underway with the aim of country’s prosperity and betterment of the people. But, most of the development projects which are carried out by the Government are harming the peoples’ lives, one way or the other. Most of them seem are not followed the basic principles of the development, which are adopted by the Government itself.
The reality of development threats to the people’s hereditary inheritance in many areas including, the situations of 14 Islands in Kalpity, large area in East coast including hundreds of acres of land area in Vakarai, Sampor, Panama, Arugambay. And also it will reveal the reality of sea plane landing projects that planning to implement in 20 inland reservoirs, destroying environment and fisheries sector in Parakarama Samudra, Polonnaruwa, Nachchaduwa, Nuwara wewa, reservoirs, in Negombo lagoon, in the name of the tourism industry development. At the same time the natural capital of Sri Lanka, which is Sinharaja world heritage site, Knuckles range, Somawathie, Nilgala forest, etc are also in the verge of destruction due to tourism projects.
In Uva Wellassa, another thousands of acres of land being allocated for sugar cane cultivations as well as for Maize cultivation for bio fuel productions. All these efforts are carried out without any prior, free informed consent of the people. So, there are a lot of tension and difficulties on general public, majority are farmers, agricultural workers, fisher folk communities, workers etc in the country” say the organisers of today’s protest.
