Don Khong

island

Don Khong (ດອນໂຂງ) is an island in Si Phan Don in Laos. It is very often confused with the smaller but more popular Don Khon (ດອນຄອນ) to the south.

Understand

The island has about 20 villages with many inhabitants on Don Khong making a living by fishing. It is not as built for tourism as the other islands nearby but offers a glimpse into the lives of Laotian locals who depend on the Mekong River.
