| | Home | | DON KHONG ISLAND This island is one of the most peaceful and friendly places we have ever visited.
We found a very nice large and airy room in Villa Kang-Kong, which is a Chinese house with lovely carved wooden furniture and a pleasant verandah. There is a good eating place overlooking the river - Souksan restaurant.
The next day we hired bicycles and rode around the island for 8 hours. People were so friendly, everyone we passed waved and said sawadee, which means hello.
It is a really lovely place, rice fields, buffaloes, small wooden houses belonging to farmers and fishermen, no cars and the river all round.
We talked a little French and Lao with old friendly rice farmers and were invited to help plant rice. At a stop Graham surprised a small brown snake. We saw lots of snakes on this holiday, including some swimming in the river.
