Loei, Thailand the Top Things To Do
Bordered by the mighty Mekhong River and mist-shrouded mountains, Loei has long been popular with Thai tourists, but still receives comparatively few international travelers. However, with all that the province has to offer, the secret may soon be out.
When visiting Loei, many people choose to head straight to Chiang Khan, famed for its laid-back charm and kitsch walking street. It is also a good base from which to explore nearby natural attractions, including un-spoilt national parks with their cool climates, lush pine forests and unique flora and fauna.
For those of you who don’t mind an early start, a visit to Phu Thok, which means isolated mountain, is a must-do whilst in Loei. Famed for its spectacular sunrises and ‘sea of fog’ views, this natural phenomenon is best viewed during winter months though good views are to be had all year-round. The area is also home to Wat Phu Thok; known locally as ‘stairways to heaven’, a popular spot for meditation in addition to offering striking views over the surrounding countryside.
For three days of the year the sleepy town of Dan Sai plays host to one of the most colourful and some would say spookiest festivals of its kind; Phi Ta Khon, or the ‘Ghost’ festival. Accompanied by raucous music and dancing, young men dressed as ghosts wearing huge colorful masks parade through the streets to worship spirits and ask for plentiful rain for the year ahead.
The annual event takes place between March and July, the exact dates being determined by the town’s spiritual mediums. If you can’t make the festival but are still interested in learning more, pay a visit to the Dansai Folk Museum, which provides information on the origins and significance of the Phi Ta Khon festival. At weekends you can also see demonstrations of how the festival masks are made.
With its unique climate, cultures and traditions, stunning natural attractions and colouful festivals, Loei is a province just waiting to be explored and is an up and coming ecotourism destination not to be missed, so come along and explore the wisdom of the mountains for yourself.

Thailand's dreamy north has national parks galore and tons of amazing day trips to take from Chiang Mai. Our second stop on our hidden Thailand road trip is Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat and the Emerald Lake. Both amazing sites are in a must less touristy Lampang Province.
Wat Chaloem is a hidden gem of the north - this is the secret Thailand that most foreigners never see. The amazing floating pagodas are a magnificent feat of human strength and artistry.
Next, we head to the Emerald Lake of Tham Pha National Park, another hidden gem of Lampang province. It's a sinkhole in the jungle filled with crystal clear blue water and tons of fish! It's considered holy, therefore there's no swimming or fishing, but just taking a look at it is incredible.
For this trip, we're also joined by Pete, my adventure tour partner. Check out the tours here!

Thailand's dreamy north has national parks galore and tons of amazing temples and hidden gems and down south, it's still possible to find amazing islands without a ton of other tourists.
We went on a road trip up north and island hopping down south to find some of the best unknown parts of Thailand. We found Wat Chaloem, Pha Chor, waterfalls, two mountains in Doi Inthanon National Park and Doi Chiang Dao, as well as Koh Yao Yoi and Koh Yao Yai, the no-farang islands.
Just when you thought you'd seen it all in Thailand, I bet there's at least one thing on this list that you've never seen or heard of before!
