Loei Province Experiences First Significant Cold Snap of the Season
Temperatures in Loei province have dropped sharply, marking the official start of the cold season with mountain peaks recording temperatures as low as 11 degrees Celsius.
According to a report from Matichon Online on November 10, 2026, Loei province has officially entered the cold season as temperatures experienced a sudden and significant decline. The drop in temperature is most pronounced in the mountainous regions of the province, which are popular destinations for tourists seeking cooler weather.
Data from local authorities indicates that the Phu Ruea National Park recorded the lowest temperature in the area, reaching 11 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the popular Phu Kradueng National Park reported a minimum temperature of 14 degrees Celsius. This shift marks the first major cold spell of the year for the region.
For residents and travellers, this change signifies the beginning of the peak season for mountain trekking and camping. Those planning to visit these national parks are advised to prepare appropriate cold-weather gear, as temperatures at higher elevations can drop rapidly during the night and early morning hours. While this initial drop confirms the arrival of cooler conditions, it remains to be seen how long this cold front will persist and whether temperatures will continue to decrease further as the season progresses. Visitors should monitor local weather updates from the Thai Meteorological Department for the most current information before embarking on their trips.
