Loei
เลย
Loei is Thailand's coolest province, with winter temperatures in the mountains occasionally dropping near freezing, a rarity in tropical Southeast Asia. The province is famous for the Phi Ta Khon ghost mask festival held annually in Dan Sai, one of the most colourful and unusual celebrations in the country. Phu Kradueng and Phu Luang plateaus offer some of Thailand's best trekking, with pine forests and cliff-edge viewpoints that feel more like temperate highlands than tropical Isan.
