Si Phan Don - Four Thousand Islands

 00:00:00 | 4.11.2012

Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands) is a group of islands in the Mekong River in Southern Laos.

The Four Thousand Islands have three main destinations for travellers：Don (Island) Khong is the biggest, but apart from the usual chill&look, there's nothing great to do there. Most people head to Don Det or Don Khon, where accommodation is cheaper, you can walk to one of the big Mekong-Falls by yourself, and biking and walking and swimming in the river is just the same as in Don Khong.

There isn't much to do in Si Phan Don, but that's the point. The islands are laid back, with small huts mixing in with guest houses along the banks of the Mekong.A beautiful set of islands, set against a lazy and winding section of the Mekong. Be sure to check out the largest waterfall in Southeast Asia, and have conversations with the friendly locals.
