Dragon Boat Festival Trip to Si Phan Don (Don Det Island), Laos

Si Phan Don, a hidden gem embraced by the Mekong River, is a dazzling jewel in southern Laos. While the China-Laos Railway can only take you as far as Vientiane, if you have the time, why not delve deeper into this paradise carved out by the Mekong, with its thousands of sandbanks? Experience a tranquility that surpasses even Luang Prabang in this Lao Eden. The main islands for travelers in Si Phan Don include Don Det, Don Khon, and Don Khong. Don Det and Don Khon are connected by a bridge, making it easy to rent a bicycle and explore both islands. Along the way, you can enjoy the fragrant rice fields, encounter locals washing clothes by the river, or even venture to Don Khon's Khon Phapheng Falls for an adventure. Si Phan Don is not only about the stunning Mekong scenery but also the natural habitat of the Irrawaddy dolphins. If you're lucky, you might spot these adorable creatures in the river. This place awaits your discovery of its beauty and serenity. 😀😀 Spend your Dragon Boat Festival holiday at Si Phan Don! It's a perfect spot for capturing stunning photos and making unforgettable memories.

Si Phan Don

It is located just at the boarder of both countries. It is about a natural wonder of the Mekong River that is becoming very popular to see. It has already two biggest: 1) river archipelago & 2) waterfalls in Southeast Asia. The waterfalls are called "Khone Phapheng" (Mekong Falls). #wintergetaway #wintergetaway
