Si Phan Don's four thousand islandsIslands in Laos Si Phan Don means four thousand islands and is a region in Laos just above the Cambodian border where the Mekong river is broken up by the Khone Falls and several sets of rapids. The falls and rapids split the river into countless channels which have produced the many islands and islets. One of the main attractions of this region are the Irrawaddy Dolphins who live below the falls. The region is tropical but inland, so rice fields, mangrove forests and rainforests dominate the mostly flat scene. The main islands of the group are Don Kong, which is the largest and has the most inhabitants and accommodation, Don Khon and Don Det. Don Khon and D,n Det offer accommodation with less home comforts and more of an adventure style-jungle-tree-house type of experience. Si Phan Don is a good place to visit if you like a quiet holiday and enjoy cycling, walking, swimming or boating and you're looking for a cultural or adventurous break.

About usStuck at your desk? Gazing out at those grey skies and imagining you are somewhere else? I want to go here is all about inspiring you to do something different - about encouraging you to check out a new experience or destination. It's simple - we post something new every day. If you like the look of it, send it to a couple of friends. If not, wait and see what tomorrow brings. And if it gets past the fantasy stage, we'll soon have links to research the experience further, but you can also send us an email, and we'll tell you where to look or book next. |
