This winter, travel around the city of Roi Et, our hometown.
This winter, visit our hometown, Muang Keun Roi, Roi Etdddddd
Near the J.U.I. car rental point, you can rent from the airport or from this company, it is convenient, good price, new car, clean, return the car in the city, so I had the opportunity to walk across the road to pay homage to the big Buddha that Roi Et people respect and make merit by offering alms to the monks. There is also a place to release fish and aquatic animals here.
Phra Phutta Rattana Mongkhon Maha Muni or Phra Chao Yai was built in 1973. The Buddha image is made of reinforced concrete. The height of the Buddha image from the feet to the top of the head is 59 meters 20 centimeters, and the total height is 67 meters 85 centimeters. At the base of this Buddha image, there are many rooms used for religious activities and a museum.
A little further on is the Shrine of Chao Pho Mahesak. Chao Pho Mahesak is a sacred object that Roi Et people have respected and worshipped since ancient times. It is believed that he resides in the city moat to the east of Wat Burapha Phiram, Mueang Roi Et District. In ancient times, a shrine was built as 3 wooden towers in the city moat. Later, the shrine, which was built over a hundred years ago, was severely deteriorated and was not suitable for the locals to worship. In 1966, the province set up a fundraising committee and invited Phra Khru Sirivutthimethi (Phutta Sirivuttho), the abbot of Wat Burapha Phiram, to be the sponsor. However, the money was not enough and more funds had to be collected until 1967, when the foundation stone laying ceremony for the shrine was held on December 21, 1967. The area where the shrine is located was a reinforced concrete Thai-style building with a total construction cost of 45,000 baht (forty-five thousand baht). Construction was completed in 1968. Roi Et people call it Chao Pho Mahesak and ask for blessings and protection, and they often call it together "Mahasak Lak Muang" to commemorate and pray for blessings and protection. On June 7, 1968, Mr. Plaek Santhirak came to read the characters on the stone tablet, which read "This character reads: Phra Mahaesakdanuphap" by writing the pronunciation and signing the date, month, and year. The people of Roi Et have called him Lord Mahaesakdanuphap ever since.
In front of the shrine, there is a seat under the shade of a tree. During this cold weather, this spot will be the spot that receives the cold wind fully. Sitting and falling asleep, sitting for a while, my stomach started to growl, so I went to recharge at the Beijing Dim Sum restaurant. Roasted duck with honey, dim sum is an old shop that you must eat when you come to Roi Et. The taste is not fancy, just normal. Homemade dim sum. Currently, there is a promotion. Buy 10 baskets, get 1 free. There are many types of food to choose from. Eat as you please.
