A bit about Rio Et.
The forest park is a great ride. My two cents worth this is a little town with a heart of gold. Issan at it’s best

Cheddi Chai Muang Kai:
I really can’t do justice to this we have 100’s of photos from our first visit it’s work in progress, supported by the local entrance fee when were there was 0 free. I didn’t understand the difference between a Cheddie and a Wat, based on what I saw here this is a fortress designed to protect the province high on a hill with a view of the entire valley. Double defensive wall surrounding it.
