It is in the Loei area that I stay when I come to Thailand, have to really as it is where the g/f lives. Her place is in a small village called Tat Kha not far from Phu Kradueng. I always hire a car so get around quite a lot. So over the next few days will try and give a whistle stop tour of places that I like.
Now this first place is close to where I stay so I go to it quite a lot. It is on the main road to Loei (Route 201) about 4 or 5 kms from Phu Kradueng.
This is a man made lake and and has had these rafts assembled on it.
A rope runs between the two banks of the lake and you can haul the raft to the middle or other side. There are some restuarants here which in my opinion serve good food. As this is mainly where the locals come to relax the prices where very good, large bottle of Leo I thinkwas 50 baht.
In all the times that I have visited here have only seen one other Farang, and he was a local.
The food you can have on one of the rafts or in little huts by the side of the lake. Most of the rafts have a Kharioke system on them.
In the background is the main road to Loei.
^ Thais having fun.
^ One of the restuarants.
There is also a good massage place here. 100 bahts for 1 hour -
no happy endings, but the massages are great. At one time I had three girls working on me for nearly the whole hour and was still only charged the 100 baht. Guess they must have been practising. Sod it, forgot to get the pictures off the video so will post them later.
All in all it is a nice place to spend a lazy afternoon and at no great cost.
