Si Phan Don










Si (four) Phan (thousand) Don (Islands) is, as Willy put it, almost idyllic. If you only had a week it would be worth coming to Laos and just coming here. We stayed on Don Kone which is joined to Don Det by an old French railway bridge straight out of Avignon. It’s car-free and you can cycle around exploring forests and waterfalls and swimming in the Mekong.











I met a gibbon who insisted on grooming the only bits of hair on my pathetically hairless body, He was rescued from people who were going to eat him.








You can also go and see the last 9 Irrawaddy dolphins—we saw 6 of them.

Just as we were about to go and see the dolphins we got a text message that Thio and Amanda had crashed the tuk tuk in Ban Na Hin and that Thio had gone to hospital with an injured leg.
