CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 After our trip to Ubon Ratchathani we fancied the "mountains". So we drove up north to Loei which is not that far from our "family headquater" in Chaiyaphum. On the way we made a short stop at Mor Hin Khao, also called the Stonehenge of Thailand. It is located about 50 km north of Chaiyaphum. Ok, that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 We drove past the Phu Kradueng National Park, which is a wellknown destination and arrived at Wat Pa Huay Lad, located about 45 km west of Loei. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Our main target destination was Phu Ruea National Park, where we wanted to enjoy the view. Of course, first had to pay the park fee (200 Bt Farang, 20 Thai, 50 car) 27-28° was a pleasant temperature. The view a bit hazy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 There are plenty of resorts in the vicinity of the national park but we preferred to stay over night in Loei city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 We had dinner at the บ้านร่มไม้ which was a short walk from our hotel. All 3 dishes wonderful, as was the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 The Soi on the opposite side has many pubs with live music. We had some drinks in the Saloon Loei which is under German management, featuring european food and many girls in tight, short jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampariO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 The next day we had a glance at the rafts on the Huai Krathing reservoir. Those seemd to be for VIPs: got even carpets. 😁 The rafts will be attached to a longtail boat and then push to somewhere. The engine is quite noisy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much water left inside. Been there dozens of times, it is about 25 minutes away from my wife's home north of Khon Kaen. The restaurant there at the point looking out to the reservoir serves good food at very reasonable prices. I have always enjoyed a trip there and very close by to the main entrance is the Buddhas Footprint (Wat Phra Bat Kham) which is well worth a trip up. Nice report, thanks for posting Edited January 26, 2020 by Horizondave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
