Garden of Nang on the western side was our other stop near the conclusion of ou bike ride. They own the land which contains a small beach which is probably a nice spot to chill during the drier season. We arrived between meal times so we only got to try their smoothies which were small but leafy seating area was another good spot to take a breather.

Such a sweet lady !
I enjoyed the best beach of Don Det swiming in pure nature with her Nang smoothy. Delicious !
Unfortunatly kitchen was closed that day.

Located at the south-western part tip of Don Det, this family has set a beautiful and chill place, just along the river and their "private beach".

It hosts a simple but well-made terrace where you can sip a fresh juice or eat one of their delicious dishes. The menu is short, vegetarian, and proposes very tasty and fresh curry dishes.
You need to order something to get access to the beach, but you won't regret it!

My husband and I ate here two days in a row. Food is all vegan and incredibly fresh. Service staff are lovely. Be prepared to wait. All food is made to order in a small kitchen but worth it. Fruit smoothies and fresh spring rolls highly recommended. Stir fry veggies with tofu melt in your mouth. And the beach, cooling off in the Mekong and watching the water buffalo....well, just priceless . Whether on foot or bike, be sure to plan on stopping before or after you get to railway bridge. Closes early. 12-5 I think?

We stopped by this morning for shakes and relaxing. My husband loved the fresh papaya salad and our shakes were yummy. I enjoyed my coffee Lao style. Our favorite part of this place was the kindness of the staff and the friendliness of the animals. We loved our late morning breakfast with Honey the cat and the two resident dogs ❤️.
