Travel by bus to Pha Pheng Waterfall on the very southern tip of Laos where a swirling torrent of water pumps thousands of litres of water into Cambodia every second. Lunch today is at a local restaurant in the fishing village of Xieng Di, perched on the banks of the Mekong. Cruise to the small village of Ban Veuthong, where you’ll board a small boat that meanders through the archipelago to Khone Island. Visit an old French railway and stroll across the bridge linking Khone and Det Islands. At Khong Island meet the Vat Phou. This former teak wood ferry has been lovingly restored, with two large open air decks, bar and a restaurant. Relax on board and enjoy a sunset cruise and dinner, docking riverside for the night.
