Roi Et

With its northeast corner bordering Mukdahan and covering an area of about 8,299 sq. km., Roi Et, 512 km. from Bangkok, was once ravaged by floods but is today making a resurgence. Its vast Thung Kula Rong Hai flatlands, formerly regarded as a wasteland, have been developed into fertile and productive agricultural land that is now one of the country’s top sources of high-quality rice. The provincial capital is also comparatively new, its focal point being a large artificial lake with a fitness park on an island in the middle. Off the beaten track, Roi Et affords a fresh insight into the life and culture of the Northeast.
