In front of Wat Neua in Roi Et, sits Phra Phutta Chayantih Mahamuni Bophit, a large Buddha statue in the pahng nahg prok pose. It sits on an elevated base that doubles as a small hall, that houses wax effigies of highly venerated monks (fig.).

Although the present monastery was formally established in 1879 AD, archaeological evidence indicates that the site is significantly older, such as this 200-year-old Isaan-style sim (ubosot) and several Dvaravati-style sandstone bai sema.

In the back of the ubosot stands an ancient Mon–Dvaravati-style chedi, distinguished by its square base, tiered superstructure, and remnants of stucco decoration characteristic of early historic religious architecture on the Korat Plateau.

This chedi is regarded as one of the oldest surviving religious monuments in Roi Et Province and suggests that the area formed part of the broader Mon–Dvaravati cultural sphere, which flourished between the 7th and 11th centuries AD.
