Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

Waterfall

Khone Phapheng Waterfalls

Khone Phapheng forms a vast set of rapids and falls on the Mekong. The equipped viewpoints allow you to read the power of the river without descending to the currents.

Island

Don Khon combines villages, rural roads and traces of the old railway. The island travels by respecting the properties and checking access to nearby sites.

Waterfall

Li Phi Waterfalls

4.7 / 5· Hidengo

Li Phi Falls, also known as Tat Somphamit, are near Don Khon. The current is powerful: stay in the open spaces for visitors and behind the protections.

4.3 / 5· Hidengo

Don Det is connected to Don Khon by the old railway bridge. The riverside roads and villages allow a slow discovery, depending on the condition of the tracks and the season.
