Loei Province จังหวัดเลย is a rural, sparsely populated province on the Northeastern Region of Thailand. It covers 11,425 sq km (4,411 sq mi) and has a population of 625,000 people (2012 estimate). It ranks 14th in size and 70th in population, among the 76 provinces of the kingdom.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
