Tourists are flocking to embrace the cool breezes and the beautiful sunrises at the Phu Ruea National Park viewpoint, in Thailand’s northern province of Loei, as temperatures fall to just 9 degrees celsius.

 

The head of the national park, has advised visitors to prepare winter clothing and equipment if they plan to sleep overnight at the camping area.

 

Many tourists have brought their tents to the Phu Kho viewpoint in Na Haew district of Loei province, to enjoy the sea of mist and the sunrise in the cool weather of 16 degrees celsius.

I'd love to know how many of those visitors are from outside the country.

A group of people nobody knows where comes from. Tourists love warmth, fjords, bad music, and funny hats. Tourists is people that much of the time is in another place than home. Tourists are always where they're not suppose to be.

Thank you and no doubt they are, but they would be domestic tourists. As a Tourist Police Volunteer, based first in Lanna then in Isaan, I am familiar with several National Parks across the North of Thailand that, pre-covid, offered camping facilities during the "cold" season. The Thais were so enthusiastic having the opportunity to party and sleep outside in the cold air and frost!  Maybe not so much partying these days. One of the most popular was (and probably still is) Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai Province.

Does that  matter ?  They are tourists.  There are two species of tourists : (1) foreign tourists who inhabit hot location e.g. beaches, go-go bars, pubs etc.  (2) domestic tourists who like to chill in the  mountains.

It matters cuz domestic tourism raises little money. It's the farangs who make it rain.
