 Loei
520 kilometres from Bangkok and approximately 400 meters above sea level, Loei province was only relatively recently established as a tourist destination. As a result, it remains authentic and pristine. Bordering Laos, this northeastern province bears many similarities to the north of Thailand, even to the extent that people confuse its location. A place of great natural beauty and natural and cultural attractions, Loei has a rugged landscape featuring low mountains, waterfalls and vast tracts of open, fertile land forming plains that house the province’s municipality and the River Loei (which flows into the Mekong).
Loei is also a province of extremes, not least its climate! Loei gets cold… sometimes very cold! The temperature can drop to 0°C in the cool season prompting the fogs and mists more associated with northern parts of the Kingdom. In stark contrast, during the hot season temperatures go off the chart and Loei becomes Thailand’s warmest province. Agriculture drives Loei’s economy and its rural communities remain intact tending crops as diverse as highland rice, Arabica coffee and lychees. As well as physical similarities with the north, Loei shares many cultural similarities that have blended to make the province a culturally unique part of Thailand. The province has excellent National Parks in Phu Kradung and Phu Reua making Loei an excellent place for hiking from mid-October to February. Loei is also home to the famous Bun Phra Wet Festival.

 Udon Thani
Located in Udonthani Province, Udonthani – nicknamed 'Udon' and also called Mak Khaeng – is a small city of around 150,000 residents. A center of agricultural trade in Thailand's northeast – the region known as Isaan – Udon initially came to life during the Vietnam War when the US government built the joint-force Udon Royal Thai Air Force Base there. Many US servicemen chose to make Udonthani their home and today the city has a large expat community, plus the supporting social infrastructure of cafés, shops and restaurants.
Udon is perhaps most well known for its Bronze Age dig site, Ban Chiang. In the 1960s, archaeologists uncovered some of the earliest examples of Bronze Age pottery and jewelry in excavated graves that date back to 2100 BCE. Ban Chiang was subsequently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is considered the most significant find regarding the Bronze Age in Southeast Asia.

 Nong Khai
Nong Khai is located on the banks of the Mekong river, 630 km north-east of Bangkok. Across the river is People's Democratic Republic of Laos. This is a good base from which to explore Isan, the North-East of Thailand, and the only place at which you can cross the river into neighboring Laos by using the so-called friendship bridge. The scenery around Nong Khai and along the Mekong river is very beautiful and worth to check it out. Outside of Nong Khai is Wat Khaek, a Buddhist-Hindu temple worth a visit. The city is also a good place to buy handicraft of the region and neighboring Laos.
