Wat Neua
This temple in the northern quarter of town has a peaceful ambience. It's known for its 1200-year-old brick chedi from the Dvaravati period, which has an unusual four-cornered bell-shaped form that's rare in Thailand. Also inside the central compound are some old Dvaravati săir·mah and a giant bodhi tree.

Wat Burapha
The enormous standing Buddha towering above Roi Et's squat skyline is Phra Phuttha Ratana Mongkon Mahamuni (Luang Po Yai for short), the main attraction at this temple. Despite being of little artistic significance, it's hard to ignore. Head to toe he stands 59.2m, and from the ground to the tip of the ùt·sà·nít it's 67.8m.

Roi Et National Museum
This interesting museum gives equal billing to ancient artefacts and Isan culture. The 3rd floor features silk weaving, including a display showing the materials used to produce natural-dye fabrics.

Richi India Food
This colourful place looks more like a hair salon than a restaurant, and the food won't wow you, but with Indian cuisine being so rare in Isan, you take what you can get.

White Elephant
This publike place just across the old moat has a massive Thai menu, but the specialities are German, as is the owner.

Bueng Phlan Chai
Walking paths criss-cross the attractive, shady island in Bueng Phlan Chai and attract the usual crowd of doting couples, students, joggers and picnickers. The beloved walking Buddha statue is on the north side and the lak meuang (city pillar) is to the south.
