Loei - Road Cycling

Day 1 Arrival Loei - Loei Loop

Arrival Loei – Pick up from the airport and transfer to hotel. The afternoon ride is a nice loop ride starting and finishing at our hotel in Loei. We will ride east out of town and soon find ourselves on quiet country roads through small villages and into the rice-fields. We have a few climbs but nothing too serious.

Day 2 Loei to Phu Ruea

Today we head west and into the hills towards Phu Reau national park. The park is named after Phu Ruea, a table-top mountain with gentle slopes and our main climb of the day takes us up onto the plateau which is shaded by pine trees. We stop at a very scenic coffee shop just before Phu Reau town and then enjoy a sweeping descent before climbing again into Dan Sai, our final destination.

Day 3 Phu Ruea to Chiang Kham

From Dan Sai, we climb out of the valley and up onto the plateau before a sweeping descent down into the Mekong river valley. We will follow the Hueang River before arriving at the majestic Mekong, one of Asia's great rivers. We follow the Mekong along very quiet, scenic roads all the way to Chiang Khan. The sleepy, little-known Mekong-side town is full of traditional timber shophouses and has become a trendy destination for Thais with trendy cafes, shops and some smart bars and restaurants. That said, Chiang Khan (เชียงคาน) is far from spoiled and is still a charming place to visit. with photogenic views of the river and the Lao mountains beyond.

Day 4 Chiang Kham to Loei

From Chiang Kham, we ride along the Mekong before a gentle climb out of the valley and across a patchwork of rolling hills back to Loei. We think riding in Loei is some of the best in Thailand. The roads are quiet yet in good condition and while situated in the mountains the climbs are not as long or steep as they can be in northern Thailand. This, along with endless steam of awe-inspiring landscapes and the charm of Dan Sai, Loei and especially Chiang Kham make Loei one of cycling's best-kept secrets.
