Sehenswürdigkeit im Isaan: Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol
Ein beeindruckende Tempelanlage in der Amphoe Nong Phok, Roi Et Province. Sie ist eine der größten Chedis in Thailand. Sie ist 101 m breit, 101 m lang und 101 m hoch.
Es wird wohl schon 10 Jahre daran gebaut. Obwohl noch nicht fertig, muß schon an Teilen der Anlage rekonstruiert werden.
Die Musikpause ist gewollt. Da ist die Kondolenzecke für den verstorbenen König zu sehen. Dachte mir kommt gut, wenn da keine Musik zu hören ist.
