Don Det Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels
island in Si Phan Don archipelago, Laos
About Don Det
Don Det used to be a really off the beaten track place only five to ten years ago. While you won't find the same crowds here as inVang Viengfor example, most of the island's shore is now covered in lines of guesthouses and tourist restaurants. The installation of electricity poles and wires is now completed and Don Det does now have 24 hour electrical service, though it's not unusual for the power occasionally to go our for a few minutes to a few hours. Don Det is somewhat of an attraction for backpackers and is often compared with the much less relaxing Vang Vieng. Backpackers, mostly in their 20s and 30s come to this island to relax. Some stay a day or two, some for weeks and a few have decided to stay for good.
