Short answer: Loei is a cool, mountainous province. The big draw is Chiang Khan, a Mekong town with a walking street (Chai Khong Road), old wooden houses, cafés and dawn alms-giving. For mountains and cool air choose Phu Ruea with its hillside resorts; Loei town is a handy base for Phu Kradueng and Phu Pa Po and for onward travel.
