History
Boorapaphiram Temple was built in 1979. The present abbot is Phramaha Siriwutmatee. 
It is located on 559 Phadungpanit Road, Mueng district,
Roi-Et. It was called “Wat Hou Raw” because in the former times, it was used as a hotel for the merchants who came to Roi-Et. They had business there at that time. There was not enough accommodation, so they had to stay at Wat Hou Raw. The word “Raw” means “waiting” in English, so at that time the merchants used this temple to sleep before started a new journey.
