Phu Ruea (Thai: ภูเรือ), is a 1365 m high mountain in Loei province, Thailand. It is in Phu Ruea district. This mountain is part of the Phetchabun Mountains, a massif forming a natural boundary between northern Thailand and Isan. The peak rises seven kilometers north of Highway 203, between Loei town and Phetchabun.[1] The name of the mountain comes from the fact that it looks like an upside down boat (Thai: เรือ) from certain angles.
