| Literally translated, ‘Loei’
means ‘beyond’ or ‘to the furthest extreme’,
a name most suitable for this province that lies in the northernmost
part of the Northeastern region, bordered at the  top
by Laos and the Mekong River. Though part of Northeastern Thailand,
its geography and climate is more similar to those of Northern Thailand.
Consisting mainly of mountains, large and small, it is cold and
foggy in the winter and searing hot in the summer. In the past,
bureaucrats based in Bangkok who had fallen out of favor of the
Siamese government were sent to this remote town as punishment.
Fortunately, the province’s isolation helped it retain its
local traditions. Some national parks here are major tourist destinations.
