Loei is also a province of extremes, not least its climate! Loei gets cold... sometimes very cold! The temperature can drop to 0?C in the cool season prompting the fogs and mists more associated with northern parts of the Kingdom. In stark contrast, during the hot season temperatures go off the chart and Loei becomes Thailand's warmest province. Agriculture drives Loei's economy and its rural communities remain intact tending crops as diverse as highland rice, Arabica coffee and lychees.
