The Somphamit rapids (Liphi falls) are located at about 1,5 km from the bridge between Don Det and Don Khone. Before turning right to the waterfalls, the road goes straight to reach a large and quiet beach of sand, where it is possible to swim. In Don Khone there is also an impressive viewpoint at approximately 4 km from the bridge, following the old rail bed.

The name Si Phan Don litterally means "Four Thousands Islands", and is 50 km-long. During the raining season, this section of the Mekong fills out to a breadth of 14 km. Don Khong is the biggest island, but the landscapes of Don Det and Don Khone attract more visitors. The Khon Phapheng falls are near the eastern shore of the Mekong, and it is possible to get there by boat from Don Det and Don Khone, by bus or minivan from the main land (Nakasang).
