The southernmost point of Laos is called Si Phan Don, which means 4000 islands. This area forms the border with Cambodia and consists of a series of very quiet islands in the Mekong. We stayed 22 hours on 'Don Kong' and almost three days on smaller 'Don Det'. Why did we flee Don Kong after less than one day? Because we were bored to death! There was literally nothing to do, nothing to see, no one to meet and worst of all...no internet, scary right? Haha! I am sure many people are dying to spend one or more days in such a deserted place, but to us it felt uncomfortable and we wanted to leave asap.
The pictures below are taken on Don Det, a far more interesting place, even though life here moves slowly as well but with a little more atmosphere and charm. As on the other island, there are no cars, everyone cycles, some use a scooter and we just walked, all day long...Through rice fields and along the river...Enjoying the sun, slurping down fresh watermelon shakes... It was the perfect ending to our two week stay in lovely Laos!
