This National Park with an area of 75,525 square
kilometers has a vast pine-covered plain 1,365 meters above sea level
at its summit. Due to its high elevation and cool climate visitors are
drawn to the Park all year round. However, during the cool season,
visitors flock to the Park to experience wintry weather.
Attractions in
the Park include observation points, waterfalls, rock gardens, and
caves. In particular there are Pha Lon Noi, which offers a spectacular
sunrise and beautiful scenery, Pha Sub Thong, a very steep cliff,
Namtok Huai Phai, a 30 meter-high waterfall, and Phu Ruea Summit, which
provides a fine view of Huang and Khong Rivers. In addition, there are
several resorts on the slopes of Phu Ruea, as well as Chateau de Loei
Winery, a huge vineyard with modern wine-making facilities. The Park is
located 60 kilometers west of Amphoe Muang on Highway No. 203.
