On arrival in Muang Khong we headed straight for the Senesothxuen Hotel recommended by other travelers and we were not disappointed. After relaxing a bit and a bath (yes, a bath; for the first time in a while we had a nice tub with a plug no less) we went for a walk along the sleepy waterfront into the heart of the quaint, sleepy village, a whopping 100 meters away. The town is also 100 meters long. Absolutely delightful little place right on the Mekong River. We love it so much that we are considering staying an extra night. We sat down for a drink on a terrace overlooking the river and moved to another terrace overlooking the river for dinner. We can’t get enough of the Mekong.

In the end we didn’t stay the extra day and decided to head for Pakse, but not before a tour of Don Khong Island. We left Muang Khong in the opposite direction that we arrived in and drove the 40-ish kms circumference road around the island until we got to the ferry again.
