When Loei people invite tourists to go “rafting,” they aren’t talking white water in raging rivers. They mean flat boats made with bamboo moored in the center of a placid lake. The experience is actually very relaxing and quite soothing during the hotter months. In addition to a nice view, there is a constant, subtle breeze to keep you cool and keep the insects at bay. We always combined our trips with a meal - the restaurant will bring the food out to you. If you visit Loei, definite accept an invitation to go “rafting.”

There are so many things to see her. Although its a bit of a Buddhist theme park the modern sculptures are all very high quality. The crocodiles (holding the pearl of wisdom in their jaws, the white Lady of Mercy stature and even a bronze coloured formidable hulk (oh and I nearly forgot the two splendid elephants to the right of the main temple. Both kids and photographers will find their heaven here'

When the heat in the valleys is oppressive, head up into the mountains for the cool air. The park can be crowded at times, but there are many trails and amazingly photogenic vistas. You don’t really appreciate the altitude you’ve reached until you look out over the distant valleys, look down on the clouds to see, through the wholes, the cities you just passed through. There are lots of nature trails for every difficulty level and transport for those who prefer or need rides up to the scenic overlooks. Thai national parks are grossly under-rated.
5. Phi Ta Khon Festival
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 13 reviews
Thailand is a country filled with her own ghosts and demons unique to this country. One of the most famous festival involving spirit-beings, is the Phi-Ta-Khon festival held in Loei province. Originally thought to celebrate the return of Prince Vessandorn, Lord Buddha-to-be, to the village after leaving for a long journey, the villagers were celebrating with so much joy and made such loud noises that it woke the spirits from the dead to join in. The most well-known sight of this festival would be the parade where villagers walk in procession in colorful clothes, and a ghost-mask made from the wicker-steamer used to cook stick-rice, the staple diet of Northeastern Thailand. This festival is one that shows off the painting skills of Thai artists as well.

Well, apart from lots of food and drink, this market leads you through a narrow road right through town. There's lots of local souvenirs and clothing - also on the famous Pithakhon festival.
