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.
The Interior of the Chedi
The first floor is used for meetings and conferences. The names of the people who donated for the construction of the Chedi are engraved in the wall
The second floor is beautifully decorated with murals, showing scenes from the life of the Buddha
The third floor is used as an Ubosot or ordination hall. The marble images of 101 highly revered
Monks are displayed here
The fourth floor is a museum, where you can learn about the abbot of the temple
The fifth floor contains a staircase to the hall where the relics of the Buddha are enshrined
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

Navigating the torn-up mess that is Miller Road currently requires utmost concentration and is a challenge for even the most experienced road warrior. This student driver will hopefully become a very competent one when they are turned loose on the open road.

Driver is the movie's primary villain, as well as the least sympathetic character; while all of her fellow Vipers are violent and ruthless, the icy, callous and psychopathic Driver is by far the most evil of the lot. She has an antagonistic relationship with the entire group, especially Beatrix Kiddo (aka "Black Mamba"). While she hates and envies Kiddo, however, she has a grudging respect for her as a warrior.

Two of the drivers in the truck series, being introduced and driven around the track for the spectators to see: Ryan Truex and Rico Abreu, who at 4'4", is the first 'little person' to drive in one of NASCAR's three main series.
This driver made me turn around which wasn't easy in my delivery truck. I asked him to wait he could careless. He even blocked me from moving forward. Jerk!
