Don Det is one of the biggest of the 4,000 Islands floating in the Mekong, in the south of Laos near the Cambodian border.
My suggestion
I advise you to cross the bridge on foot and leave Don Det as soon as possible so you can stay on its more authentic neighbour, Don Khône.

Situated at the far south of Laos, Don Det, an island surrounded by 4,000 others in the middle of the Mekong, is a peaceful retreat, where you can take a stroll or laze back in a hammock by the riverbank.
My suggestion
Try to rent a bungalow facing the setting sun - the view is stunning, you won't feel too hot when the morning sun rises and you'll be protected from the noise of boats.
