Little bit like something from a movie.Will need to have a bit of fitness to get to the top.Some food and market stalls at the entrance where there is parking and bus up to temple.
Not difficult to find if you’re driving; just follow google maps and directions although I found it by an alternative name “Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhol”. No entry fee at my time of visit and easy parking. Certainly worth the visit but I got the impression that it is not finished nor in the process of being finished. Quite a big structure and it really does look well although it seemed deserted by monks for some reason. The outside looked nice with a garden setting but a bit neglected, the inside is quite spectacular but again unfinished. Strange as it might sound but this place seems to be built from the top downwards! Before you reach the top do take your time to walk around and see the unfinished work, even now it is quite a sight to see, but the top level is definitely worth the not so difficult climb. The spiral staircase which leads to the final level adds to the design of the temple but makes it a bit awkward for people going up and down so take your time and stop if needed, they are a bit steep. On the way up there are vantage points for views although this is a very flat part of the country but I would again say worth seeing. I enjoyed the visit and was treated exceptionally well by the Thai people which was no surprise but research why the top level is revered!
This temple is near Mukudahan and it takes 1.5 hours by car from Roi Et city.Eventhough it is far, you had better visit it. This temple is very wide and so beautiful.Don’t forget to see the top of temple. I felt happy and powerful on the top of the temple, so nice.Garden is well maintained and you can see many buddha along the wall.At the parking area, you can take a free shuttle to the temple, of course walking is OK.I strongly recommend this temple.
This temple is full with golden ornaments. I think it js the biggest temple in Roi Et. You may find the relic of Buddha there. You need to have strong feet to go up to the top. On the roof top, you may see beautiful scenery.
This temple is absolutely stunning! Gorgeous views if you can make it to the top (steep stairs, but worth the effort). Large sprawling rooms of Buddhist decor. Some neat giant palm chimes you can rub and make music from. Every room and view of the property is picturesque and beautiful. Well worth the drive from Roi Et.
The correct name for this attraction is Wat Pha Nam Thip Thep Prasit Wanaram. It is close (by foot) to Wat Pha Nam Yoi. All the photos I saw on TA are for the correct name. It is the location of Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol, one of Thailand’s largest and most beautiful pagodas and some have said that is the correct name also.What a beautiful temple on the hilltop between Roi Et and Mukdahan in NE Thailand. Not so close to Roi Et, closer to Mukdahan really, It is in Roi Et province but right on the border.4 levels and a serpentine staircase up into the dome. The 360 Outside view is wonderful but inside is spectacular. It is the combination of central region and northeastern region art style; white with golden decoration. This is the first time I have seen stained glass or a likeness of it in a Thai temple. It is decorated with 60kg of gold and announces that it contains Buddha relics. Surrounded by gardens, fountains, walls and even enclosed by a fortified wall on the perimeter of the grounds. A rather special temple and worth the trip if you are within 100 or 200 kilometres. And it’s free to enter, even for farangs. There is even a courtesy golf buggy style bus for the 300-meter walk up the gentle slope. We walked up entrance 2 and there are many balancing rock piles built by visitors.I’m giving it 5 stars even though construction is ongoing. I rate it a must see.
Bit hard to find for foreigners but well worth the effort.spacious grounds with some very beautiful statues.
If you’re into “mega-Buddhist temple” projects that requires millions of dollars to construct instead of using financial $donations to help the poor and needy, this “Disneyland- Versailles” temple project can be interesting to the visitor. Unfortunately when you walk around the exterior of the building, you realize: 1) The detailed work is not completed compared to the main entrance 2) the fountains and gardens in the back are being neglected 3) maintenance of the exterior wall is not being done but neglected before the structure is completed 5) maybe a 100 baht entrance fee would help with the basic maintenance/ upkeep ( no double pricing btw) The interior (3-4 levels) will definitely take another 50-100 years to complete; meanwhile, will the completed work be maintained once finished? Beautiful views from the top veranda. The whole countryside and mountain area in this region is beautiful. A visitor should plan to stay a couple nights and explore other sites nearby also.
This temple is far off the beaten tourist path, but well worth seeking out. We’ve visited hundreds of temples in Thailand and this is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular. A word of caution: it is difficult to find this place, and even though you can see it on the mountaintop from more than 20 kilometers away, you may still find it hard to reach. Google maps took us to the wrong location and we had to ask locals two or three times before we got clear instructions to the access road. The temple is located near to the provincial border of Roi Et and Mukdahan. Most local people will know the place better by the name Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol.There is a huge parking area down the hill from the temple, but a free shuttle ferrying people to the temple. Although the temple is still “a work in progress,” it is astounding in scale and beauty. Grand and ambitious, the project is a massive, with several (seven?) levels inside. The last part accessible for visitors is by climbing a massive spiral staircase. In all, from the lowest level to the top, I counted 284 steps (although I can’t guarantee that my count could perhaps be off by a few). In any case, it is high! The views from the temple out over the countryside are fabulous. There are only a few “must see” temples in Thailand and this has to be one of them!
Beautiful temple. Breathtaking architecture and place of worship. 9 floors of Buddhist murals and craftsmanship. Some spots not quite finished yet but we’ll worth a visit!
