When you are on Don Det or Don Khon (4000 islands in Laos) you can rent a bike for 10.000 kip (1 euro or $1.20). With the bicycle you can cross the islands and bike around. When you rent a bicycle check the tires if they are good enough. Because the road isn’t that good.
When you are on Don Det that is tubing a nice thing to do in the afternoon. In the morning hire a bicycle and explore Don Det and Don Khon. In the afternoon relax in the tube. You can’t compare the tubing in Don Det with the tubing in Vang Vieng. The river is calm and there are no bars near the route. The costs to rent a tube is 10.000. (you don’t have to pay a deposit.)
The laundry service on Dot Det is famous about their scams. The 8000 kip for the laundry looks cheap but they fixed the scale so one kilo is two kilo. And when you say something they don’t care. A lot of tourists will pay the bill and pick up their laundry again.
Ok, it can be one wrong scale so I checked several shops. My laundry is one kilo so thats easy. The first one my laundry weights 2 kilo. The second shop my laundry weights 1.5 kilo (with a 700ml bottle). The last shop my laundry was 3 kilo!
In Pakse you can easy book the Bus from Pakse to Don Det or Don Khon the 4000 Islands. The ticket you can book for 60.000 (6 euro / $7.5) kip at every travel agency in Pakse. The ride will take around 2.5 hours. First we were in a minivan and after 2 hours we changed to the big bus. Make sure the boat is also included in your ticket, else you’ve to pay the boat as well when you want to see the island. (To Don Det 15.000 kip to Don Khon 20.000 kip)
