Eco-Tourism in Thai-Border Forests and Mountains

Since Loei is a border town adjacent to present-day Laos, or the Lan Xang Kingdom in the past, many temples and archeological sites in Loei reflect the influence of Lan Xang’s artistic style. Temples in Chiang Khan, Dan Sai and Na Haeo apparently reflect Lan Xang’s distinctive features in their Ubosot, an ordination hall, Wihan, an assembly hall, which houses the Buddha images and Ho Trai, al library sued to house holy scriptures. Notably, the sloping, superposed roof in some areas in the northern region, is typically Lan Xang.
