Wat Pha Nam Thip Thep Prasit Wanaram is located 90 kms north-east of Roi Et, on a huge site. The wat sits at the top of a hill and is dominated by one of Thailand’s largest pagodas: Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol. After parking, you take a golf-cart up to the entrance where, once inside, you are facing the main chedi which is surrounded by six minor ones and galleries containing rows of Buddha statues. Once inside the main chedi, you ascend to different levels via the stairwells, the final one being a spiral staircase which narrows scarily as it approaches the ceiling. The interior is beautifully decorated with gold inlay and stained-glass windows. Outside, the grounds are so huge that you would need an army of workers constantly on duty to stay on top of maintenance. Sadly, the site is rather careworn. Having said that, it is impressive and definitely worth a visit.
