Koksathon Community-Based Tourism Club

Koksathon Community-Based Tourism Club

Kok Sathorn Community, located in Dan Sai District, Loei Province, is a distinguished destination for eco-tourism and cultural experiences. Particularly during the winter season, tourists flock to Phu Lom Lo to witness the breathtaking bloom of Wild Himalayan Cherry Blossom which blanket the mountain slopes. The area is also home to the stunning 32-tiered Man Daeng Waterfall, as well as Ban Tub Kho, where visitors can intimately experience the vibrant culture of the Hmong people. Furthermore, the community offers activities such as the processing of local products like Sathon leaf tea, ginger powder, and traditional foods, alongside a warm and welcoming homestay service. This form of sustainable tourism emphasizes community involvement, generates income for the local economy, and helps preserve both the natural environment and local traditions. The aim is to ensure that tourism flourishes hand-in-hand with the long-term care of the local heritage and landscape.
