Review:
The 4000 Islands are a group of 4,000 small islands scattered along the Mekong. While the majority are wild and uninhabited, mainly due to their minuscule size, two of the southern islands, Don Khong and Don Dhet, are regularly visited. Both islands are located near the Cambodian border. Dong Khong, the larger of the two, is the most developed and the easiest to travel to. Its waters are known for being home to the illusive and rare Irrawaddy dolphin. Don Dhet offers a more laidback vibe with just a few bars and restaurants. Both islands are steeped in tradition and culture, featuring ancient buildings and various walking trails allowing visitors to discover a more rural side of Laos.
