Don Det & Don Khon Getting there & around

Getting there & away

It seems hyperinflation has struck the Si Phan Don boatmen. Prices have tripled on the small boats ferrying passengers between Ban Nakasang and Don Det (US$1.50 per person or US$2 alone), or Don Khon (US$2 per person or US$4 alone). Boats can be hired to go anywhere in the islands for about US$10 per hour.

For Pakse (US$3, 2½ to 3½ hours, 148km), buses or sǎwngthǎew leave Ban Nakasang at 6am, 8am, 9am and 10am.
