Roi Et
ร้อยเอ็ด
Roi Et, whose name means 'one hundred and one,' is an Isan province centred on a peaceful town built around Bueng Phlan Chai Lake, from which rises a striking tall standing Buddha statue visible across the flat landscape. The province has a strong tradition of silk weaving and is known for producing the khaen, a bamboo mouth organ that is the signature instrument of Isan music. Despite economic challenges typical of the northeast, the province maintains a vibrant cultural life with mor lam performances and annual festivals.
