Roi Et is a compact town built around a lake, Bueng Phlan Chai, with the Roi Et Tower beside it and Wat Burapha Phiram a short ride away. The big chedi, Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon, is outside town, so most visitors sleep in the centre and make it a half-day trip. This page splits the town into two areas: right by the lake, and the Rob Mueang (ring road) side.

Use the quick answer above, then the area table. We show no hotel prices because rates change with date and room type, and the booking buttons open a search for your own dates. We have not stayed at any of these hotels. Every card shows facts taken from the hotel's own website and checked on 19 October 2026 after a separate verification pass, with the source linked. Only 4 hotels are listed because most Roi Et hotels have no official website we could read, only booking-site listings or Facebook pages, so this is a checked list, not a complete one (see the FAQ).

How to choose

  1. Decide whether you want to be at the lake. M Grand Hotel says guests can walk to Bueng Phlan Chai and the Roi Et Tower. The Bed Hotel lists the lake at 1 km and Wat Burapha Phiram at 400 m, and HOP INN names the lake pavilion, the Roi Et Tower and a park as nearby.
  2. Read distances as the hotels' own claims. HOP INN gives no address or distances in km on its page, and The Pool Hotel's site is a basic template page, so confirm the exact pin with each hotel before you pay.
  3. Plan the big chedi as a day trip. The Bed Hotel's page lists Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol at 77 km, so it is not a walk from any hotel here. Ask the hotel about a car or driver, and confirm the final rate with tax, parking and cancellation terms.

How you arrive
Bus, plane or car to the town, then a short ride; M Grand says guests can walk to the lake and the tower

One hotel on this list is described as walking distance to the lake. M Grand Hotel gives an address on Hai Sok Road in Nai Mueang, says guests can walk to Bueng Phlan Chai and the Roi Et Tower, lists parking and 24-hour security, and has a Chinese restaurant it calls the only original Chinese restaurant in Roi Et province. Its home page does not mention a pool and shows no prices or room count.

Choose it if: You want to walk to the lake and the tower and eat at the hotel.

Skip it if: You want a pool or a hotel with prices on its own site.

Mistake to avoid: Do not assume the hotel has a pool; its home page does not say so.

Three hotels on this list sit on this side of town. The Bed Hotel gives an address on Rob Mueang Road, lists Wat Burapha Phiram at 400 m, the National Museum at 650 m and the lake at 1 km, and offers a Standard room with free breakfast for two and an Executive room with a living room. HOP INN Roi Et names the lake pavilion, a pagoda, a park and the Roi Et Tower as nearby but gives no address on its chain page. The Pool Hotel gives an address at 3/9 Rob Mueang Road, serves breakfast, and says on its own site that there is no swimming-pool service.

Choose it if: You want a plain room at a lower cost and are happy to take a short ride or walk to the lake.

Skip it if: You want a pool, a lakeside walk from the door or hotel prices on the site.

Mistake to avoid: Do not book The Pool Hotel for a pool; its own site says there is no pool service.

Hand-picked places to stay

Examples of established Roi Et hotels, spread across areas and budget bands. Every fact below was checked against the hotel's own website or a reputable source on 2026-10-19 and links to that source. We have not stayed at these places and give no ratings; we show no prices because rates change daily. The band is the property class (hostel or guesthouse, mid-range, upscale), not a live price.

Day trips and planning from Roi Et

We have no registered tour listing for Roi Et yet, so we show no tour prices. The button opens Klook's own search, which currently earns us nothing, and results may be limited. Ask your hotel first, since some arrange day trips themselves.

Disclosure: we are an affiliate partner of travel booking sites, but these links currently open the providers' own sites and earn us nothing yet.

Getting to Roi Et

Most visitors reach Roi Et by bus, plane or car; Wikivoyage also describes a train to Khon Kaen followed by a bus. We have not recorded timetable or price figures for the 12Go Bangkok to Roi Et page, so the button simply opens that page for your own date. Check the operator, departure point and last service before you book. Our Roi Et guide covers the sights and the roads.

Affiliate disclosure: these links may earn us a commission if you book, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we write.

Before you book

  • Open the map link for the area and then check the hotel's exact pin. A neighbourhood name can cover a wide area.
  • Check the final rate with tax, payment timing, cancellation terms and what the room includes.
  • If arriving late, confirm the check-in method and the last transport that actually runs.
  • The Pool Hotel's own site says its restaurant has no swimming-pool service, so do not book it for a pool.
  • HOP INN's check-in and check-out times (from 14:00, until 12:00) are chain-wide wording, not set by this hotel alone.
  • The Bed Hotel's page lists Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkol at 77 km, so allow a half day and your own transport.

FAQ

Where should first-time visitors stay in Roi Et?

Stay in the town centre. M Grand Hotel says on its own site that guests can walk to Bueng Phlan Chai and the Roi Et Tower, and The Bed Hotel lists the lake at 1 km. The cards show what each hotel says on its own site.

Is there a hotel near Wat Burapha Phiram?

The Bed Hotel's own attractions page lists Wat Burapha Phiram at 400 m and the National Museum at 650 m. The Pool Hotel's page also names the temple as nearby but gives no distance.

Which hotels are near Bueng Phlan Chai?

M Grand Hotel says guests can walk to the lake. The Bed Hotel says the lake is 1 km away, and HOP INN names the pavilion in the middle of the lake as nearby. Check each pin, because the distances are the hotels' own claims.

Can I see Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon from a town hotel?

It is a trip, not a walk. The Bed Hotel's page lists the chedi at 77 km. Ask your hotel about a driver or car before you book, and read our Roi Et guide for the sights.

Is Roi Et a day trip or an overnight stay?

It is best as an overnight stay. Wikivoyage says to take the train to Khon Kaen and then a bus to Roi Et, and the chedi is a separate half-day trip. Check the 12Go page for your own date before you plan the transfer.

Why are only 4 hotels listed?

We only list hotels whose own website we could open and quote. Most Roi Et hotels we found had booking-site listings or Facebook pages only. One hotel with a live site was left out because its domain also served unrelated spam pages, and another had too little on its page to quote. This is a checked list, not a full one.

Official sources and further reading

Prices, schedules and entry rules change. Figures here are approximate as of 2026; always confirm on the official or operator page before you book. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
