Car rental in Loei

Your Car Class Guide

Picking the right car class is instrumental in ensuring comfort and leisure on your journey. A compact car might suffice for solo travellers or couples, while SUVs or minivans are better suited to family trips. An 4X4 or SUV is ideal if you’re planning on tackling mountainous terrain or visiting a national park.

Parking Wisdom

Finding parking in city areas can be challenging, but most hotels and shopping areas provide parking. An important rule to remember is to not park where the curb is painted red and white - this indicates no-parking zones.

Driving Destinations

Loei’s attractions are relatively spread out, presenting perfect opportunities for leisurely drives. Some must-visit locations include:

• Phu Kradueng National Park: Famous for its stunning sunrises and breathtaking views.
• Wat Neramit Wipatsana: An exquisite temple built with laterite bricks, surrounded by a peaceful lake.
• Chiang Khan: A rustic and charming riverside town with a vibrant night market and serene sunrise views over the Mekong.

Local Currency

Thailand's currency is the Thai Baht (THB). Most places in Loei accept credit and debit cards. Yet, for street food stalls, local markets or small shops, it is recommended to carry cash.

Seasonal Events

Loei boasts unique yearly events such as Phi Ta Khon, the ghost mask festival in June, and Chiang Khan's merit-making ceremony to end the Buddhist lent in October. Both are enriched with cultural heritage and local traditions which promise an enhanced travel experience.
