Loei
is a gateway to the exploration of both natural and cultural
attractions. In addition, there are many traditions and festivals that
are well known among tourists such as the Phi Ta Khon Procession, the
Loei Cotton and Tamarind Fair and Homage to Phra That Sri Songrak
Festival.
Due to its geographical diversity and soil composition, agriculture is
the basis for the province’s economy. While the highlands in Loei
are favorable to warm-temperature crops such as highland rice,
macadamia nuts, passion fruit, and Arabica coffee, the plains at the
foot of the hills are suitable for tropical crops like soybean,
bananas, maize, sesame, rubber, grapes, and longan. On the other hand,
other lowland areas are good for rice, cotton, mangoes, tamarind and
flowers like roses, jasmine and Thai Gerbera. However, the main
agricultural products are tamarind, rubber, mangoes, longan, bananas
and
lychees.
