Four Thousand Islands ( Si Phan Don ) - Don Khon - Don Det - Khone Phapheng Falls - Laos - 18/18
The Si Phan Don (Lao: ສີ່ພັນດອນ; meaning 4000 islands) is a riverine archipelago in the Mekong River, Champasak Province in southern Laos.
Si Phan Don is part of the Khong District (that includes the islands and a part of the mainland in the east).
Si Phan Don is characterised by numerous islands, half of which are submerged when the Mekong River is in flood.
The principal islands of Si Phan Don are Don Khong (the largest), Don Som (the second largest), Don Det and Don Khon.
Si Phan Don is bordering Cambodia and historical and cultural ties link the people on both side of the border. Pakse is the closest of the bigger cities in Laos to the area.
Key features of the Si Phan Don archipelago include:
The remains of the first railway in Laos, the Don Det – Don Khon narrow gauge railway, built by the French to bypass the Khone Phapheng Falls and enable vessels, freight and passengers to travel along the Mekong River.
Freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins (Pakha) that can be viewed by boat off Don Khon island. They are considered highly endangered.
The Khone Phapheng Falls, a succession of impassable raging rapids that gave rise to the construction of the railway.

Mekong & Don Khon (Laos)
(EN) Khong Island or Don Khong is the largest island and the seat of administration in the Si Phan Don riverine archipelago located in the Mekong River, Khong District, Champasak Province, southern Laos.
The island is 18 kilometres (11 mi) long (north-south), and 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) at its widest point. It has a population of approximately 55,000, mainly concentrated in the two villages Muang Saen (west) and Muang Khong (east); the latter is the de facto capital of the island as well as the regional seat of government. The former President of Laos, Khamtai Siphandon has a residence on the island, which is a possible explanation for the high-quality of infrastructure, such as asphalted roads and electricity, on Khong Island. Locals tend to travel on longtail boats.
Khong Island is noted for its natural beauty and is a growing tourist destination. Many tourists combine their visit to the island with a visit to nearby Don Det and Don Khon islands, where it is possible to view the Khone Phapheng Falls.

KAYAKING 4000 ISLANDS @ Don Det w/Khone Phapheng FALLS + DOLPHINS (Budget Travel Laos){Don Det Laos}
Budget Travel Laos #2
Kayaking 4000 Islands sounds like hard work. Fortunately, not all the islands were scheduled for this one-day journey.
On the island of Don Det, Laos, near the border of Cambodia and Laos, economical kayaking day trips explore the local waterways, wildlife and rural communities. When weaving through the calm waters, highlights include the Mekong Dolphins and Khone Phapheng Waterfalls, the largest waterfalls in Asia and one of the largest waterfalls in the world.
For only $20, including two light meals, transportation and park entrance fees, without question Matt gets his money's worth on this excursion.
