Si Phan Don, Riverine archipelago in Champasak Province, Laos
The Mekong River expands to create Si Phan Don, forming numerous islands that span over 14 kilometers along the waterway in southern Laos.
The French colonial administration constructed the first railway in Laos on Don Det and Don Khon islands to circumvent the Khone Phapheng Falls.
Local communities across the islands maintain traditional agricultural practices as their primary economic activity, cultivating rice fields throughout the seasons.
Visitors need to bring sufficient cash as ATM services are limited to Don Khong island, while accommodations provide basic amenities including water and electricity.
The waters around Si Phan Don contain a small population of Irrawaddy dolphins, with approximately 50 individuals residing near Khone Phapheng Falls.
