in 4000 Islands
The Mekong at its most magical — hammock life, rare dolphins, thundering waterfalls, and the slowest pace in Southeast Asia on Laos' legendary river islands.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Buddhist Etiquette
Laos is a deeply Buddhist country. Remove shoes before entering temples and homes. Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) in villages and temple grounds. Women should never touch a monk or hand objects directly to them — place items on a cloth or table instead.
Protect the River Ecosystem
The Mekong and its islands are a fragile ecosystem supporting endangered dolphins and diverse wildlife. Do not litter — take all rubbish with you. Avoid using plastic bags and bottles where possible. The river is the lifeline for every community here.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the 4000 Islands travel guide.
