  If you are driving, start by getting onto Highway 2 (Mittraphap Road), which is the main route through Isan. Depending on where you are, head towards Roi Et Province. Once you reach Roi Et, follow signs for Nong Phok District. Specifically, navigate towards Pha Nam Yoi, where Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon is located.

Expect to pay for fuel, and depending on your starting point, toll fees may apply if you use toll roads.

• Public Transportation

  For travelers relying on public transportation, take a bus from your current location in Isan to Roi Et. The main bus terminal in Roi Et is where you can find connections to Nong Phok District. Once you arrive at the Roi Et bus terminal, look for local songthaews (shared taxis) or tuk-tuks that can take you specifically to Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon in Pha Nam Yoi. Make sure to confirm the fare before getting in; it should be relatively inexpensive, but prices can vary, usually ranging from 20 to 100 baht depending on distance.

• Taxi

  Another option is to hire a taxi directly from Roi Et to Phra Maha Chedi Chai Mongkhon. This is a comfortable choice, especially if you are traveling in a group. Agree on the fare with the driver before starting your journey. It should cost around 300-500 baht for a one-way trip, depending on your negotiation skills and the time of day.
