Visit Loei - Accommodation, Attractions ... 
Loei is an ideal destination for mildly adventurous folks who love nature, and wish to experience a unique area of Thailand, relatively unaffected by the known negative effects of international tourism. Hiring a vehicle and exploring the province opens up an unbeatable mixture of travelling experiences, including forays along the Mekhong River, which is less than 50 kilometres away. Further afield, major towns, interesting in themselves, include Phetchabun (80 kms) Khon Kaen (120 kms) Udon Thani (143 kms) and Nong Khai (170kms) where the Friendship Bridge connects Thailand with Laos over the Mekhong. For the more athletic, the National Parks described above are some of the most beautiful in Thailand, but best visited outside of the rainy season between June to October.

In the town itself there is little of interest apart from the local market by the river, and the pleasure of finding a restaurant and watching Loei go about its daily work, as you enjoy doing just the opposite. An equally pleasant experience is to have lunch outside the city at Hua Krating Lake, where diners aboard floating bamboo salas are served by boatmen armed with tasty local treats. Raising the flag on your raft indicates you are ready for the next course, or second helpings of the same. There are lovely views from here and this is a lively people-spotting venue, particularly at weekends.
Some 30 minutes south of the city, Suan Hin Pha Ngam Park forms part of a limestone mountain range eroded over centuries to form an interesting shape similar to that in Kunming, capital of China’s Yunnan province. Often referred to as “Kunming Mountain” a well-maintained path leads through some challengingly tight boulder spaces up to the panoramic peak.
A major tourist attraction some 70 kilometres from town is the vast flat-topped summit of the table mountain, Phu Kradung. Reached after a mildly strenuous 5-kilometre climb of 3-4 hours, with steeper sections assisted by bamboo ladders, the superb national park covers an area of roughly 350 square kilometres, at an average altitude of 1300 metres.
