Roi Et Travel Guide: Roi Et province lies in the heart of Isan, the northeastern part of Thailand. The modern city was founded over 200 years ago, but a village existed here as early as 2800 years ago. Roi Et means "101" in Thai and refers to the eleven city gates the city once had. The city's history began in the late Ayutthaya period when a Laotian king and his people migrated from Champasak and settled in the area of ​​present-day Suwannaphum. Later, during the reign of King Taksin, Roi Et moved to its current location. The city of Roi Et is best known for the large standing Buddha at Wat Buraphaphiram, the largest of its kind in Thailand. Roi Et is known for its tranquility and low tourist traffic. Enjoy relaxing moments in the park by Phalanchai Lake or visit Wat Klang Ming Muang with its open-air murals. Those who travel specifically to visit Roi Et might be slightly disappointed. However, a stopover on an Isan trip is worthwhile to see the large Buddha of Roi Et and relax in the park. One day is perfectly sufficient for a visit to Roi Et. All information on getting around in Roi Et can be found in our section "Getting Around in Roi Et".

Accommodation in Roi Et is scarce, and most hotels are quite outdated. While you can find cheap rooms, they lack charm and are therefore unattractive to backpackers. Other decent rooms cost over 1000 baht per night, and still other, somewhat dated 4-star hotels offer rooms in the mid-price range. In our opinion, only the Sagate City Center Hotel offers modern comfort at a reasonable price. Since few tourists visit the city and stay overnight in Roi Et, the availability of accommodation is rather limited. Find accommodation in Roi Et.
