Stunning panoramic views from the upper levels of Ho Woht 101 (หอโหวด ๑๐๑), i.e. ‘Roi Et Woht Tower’, a 101 meter high tower built in the form of a woht, a folk instrument from Isaan, i.e. northeastern Thailand. It opened in December 2020 as a new landmark in the city of Roi Et, and is also known by the names Roi Et (City View) Tower, 101 Tower, and simply Ho Woht. The tower is highly symbolic as it combines the province's name in its height, as Roi Et means ‘101’, with its local symbol and OTOP product, the woht. The interior of the building is decorated with depictions of local and contemporary stories, as well as with a crystal Lagerstroemia macrocarpa flower, the provincial flower, known in Thai as dok inthanin-bok (ดอกอินทนิลบก). In the small park surrounding the tower, is a purple path, the royal colour of Princess Sirinthon, who inaugurated the tower, as well as the colour of the provincial flower. The city's name Roi Et (ร้อยเอ็ด), literally ‘Hundred-and-One’, is believed to have derived from the fact that the ancient city had 11 city gates and was surrounded by 11 satellite states, eleven being pronounced ‘sip-et’ (10-1) in Thai, which over time evolved into 101. Among the city views is a large artificial lake called Beung Plaan Chai (บึงพลาญชัย), with a small island on which the sahn lak meuang (ศาลหลักเมือง) or city pillar shrine is located. Also visible at a distance is Luang Pho Yai (หลวงพ่อใหญ่), Thailand's Tallest Buddha Statue, which is officially known Phra Phuttha Rattana Mongkhon Mahamuni (พระพุทธรัตนมงคลมหามุนี), and which stands at Wat Burapha Phiram (วัดบูรพาภิราม). 回
