Loei
is a very attractive holiday destination, sandwiched between the
Petchabun mountain range and Mekong River.
It's green, it's quiet
and it's far away. Tropical mountain forest, lakes,
National Parks,
waterfalls, all agriculture, no industry.
Easily accessible by air, bus or car over excellent roads, very
winding roads through a beautiful countryside.
The nearest
great outdoor is Phu Rua national park on the way from
Dan Sai to Loei town. The highest peak is 1,365 meters and in the
“winter” month a chilly wind can bring temperature down to below 0
degree centigrade.
Usually no chilly winds are around and a terraced campground under
pine trees invites to get your tent up and explore the beautiful
surrounding.
You can get out for a hike along markers that contain information
about the forest.
The area is dotted with pine trees. A light breeze of early summer
winds might tickles your nose with a fragrance of wildflowers.
Pha Lee Rock Garden shows surrealistic rock formation somehow like
the limestones around
Phang Nga in
southern Thailand, further up is
a so called Stone Forest with more wild stone sculptures. In early
summer wild orchids can be found

Namtok Chattakan National Park near the highway from
Phitsanulok to Loei
|
around
here. Up to Pha Loan Noi viewpoint people can
drive with the car and do a short walk, its worth
it, the panorama is a breathtaking experience.
During the rainy season, Huai Phai waterfall, 2.5
kilometres from the visitor center carries enough
water for a real exceptional splash or –namtok- as
Thai call a waterfall.
The limestone formations of Suan Hin Pha Ngam stone
forest
have been formed to all kind of abstract shapes.
Typical limestone caves like Orathai Cave and Broken
Heart Cave could be explored.

Four park lodges for around 300 baht per head for five persons a
night over a very basic stay. Campgrounds with showers are near the
visitor centre, the best actually is to stay in a hotel in Loei town
and do the short ride to the National Park, it prevents from
negative experience.
