Founded in 1782, Roi Et literally means ‘one hundred and one’,
believed to be an exaggeration of the number 11 since the prosperous
town once ruled 11 vassal states. The town was abandoned because
of the natural disaster of flooding, but is now a steadily growing
province. The province is part of the 200,000 plus rais of the famous
Tung Kula Rong Hai (Kula Crying Fields), once a wasteland that was
transformed into growing high-quality rice. The daily life in Roi
Et is influenced by a conservative population with strong Buddhist
traditions. The simple way of life in this mostly rural province
in the lower Northeast is reflected in its arts and crafts, especially
in the weaving of textiles.
