A popular eco-tourism destination, Loei is the capital city of Loei province, located within the Isaan region. This area’s location among the Phetchabun mountain range has given it a unique eco system and the kinds of cool temperatures that one would be very hard pressed to find elsewhere in Thailand. The city is served by the small yet busy
Loei Airport, which is located within the city center near a large cluster of hotels and guesthouses.
Loei is the gateway to some of the most famous mountains of this area, one of which being
Phu Kradung. Most serious mountain climbers arrive in Loei with a goal to climb at least one of these mountains, and certainly to take part in overnight camping among the unique flora of the mountain ranges. The view from the top is absolutely spectacular, and most hotels in Loei can assist guests to arrange for a tour guide for those not planning to hike or camp alone.
Just a half hour outside of Loei is the unique city of
Chiangkhan, the perfect getaway for replacing views of mountains with views of the Mekong. The wooden temples of Chiangkahn are certainly worth a visit, and most of the hotels in the city are located along the riverside, overlooking the city and out toward Laos. Framed by the mountain ranges of Loei and the river-side life of lazy and relaxed days, this is the perfect way to cap off a hiking and camping filled adventure in Loei.
