Astonishing 3 Billion Baht Chedi: A Wonder In Roi Et Thailand.
Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon is an impressive and intricately decorated pagoda located in Roi Et Province, Thailand. 
The design of the pagoda combines elements of contemporary art from both the central and northeastern regions, creating a unique and visually stunning structure. It draws inspiration from Phra Pathom Chedi and Phra That Phanom.
The pagoda stands out with its white exterior adorned with decorative patterns, featuring dazzling gold and yellow colors. It is surrounded by smaller pagodas in all eight directions, creating a spectacular and spiritually significant site. 
The entire complex covers an area of 101 rai, with the pagoda itself having dimensions of 101 meters in width, length and height which correspond to the name of Roi Et Province. 
The height was later increased to 109 meters to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej which the top of the 9-tiered pagoda is a 60 kg pure gold alabaster top.
