A cool detour just south of Loei.
If you are riding south out of Loei towards hwy 12, I would recommend this great detour that takes in hwy 2016 and hwy 2216.
20 kilometres south out of Loei you come to the hwy 2016 turn off. Look out for the sign with the startled burglar. Whether or not this mask intruder is a real burglar, or a paid actor is not really important. The important thing is to turn right here.
The first few kilometres the road is very busy with many towns and traffic, but once you’re through that the ride becomes quiet and very scenic.
In the background you can see the mountain range which you follow for most of the way. My little camera doesn’t show just how big the range is.
I arrived at the lookout which was a nice spot for a drink.
This couple had a food stall selling fried banana which was very tasty.
If you look to the right of the photo there is a white spot on the mountain, this is a big waterfall. I asked the lady cooking the fried banana if I could ride to the waterfall, she laughed and said, it was a two kilometre walk. I said, maybe some other day.
Beautiful through here. The road is amazing.
This is hwy 2216, you turn left on to this road to get to hwy 12. So good.
Nice little detour if you’re out that way.
