Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

There are three specific starting points for planning a trip around Amphoe Khong Chiam: the Two-Colour River, boat trips with views of the riverbanks, and a village market on the Lao side. They appeal to different interests: a particular river destination, views from the water, and shopping for souvenirs. When choosing where to stay, you can first decide which of these reasons matters most to you.

The Two-Colour River as a destination

A boat trip from Amphoe Khong Chiam to the Two-Colour River takes about five minutes. The river is in the area of Ban Woen Buk and is also known as Don Dan Pak Mae Nam Mun. Both names refer to the same river, so you do not need to treat them as two separate destinations. The short trip gives you a specific time estimate for this part of your plans. Allow about five minutes for the boat trip to the river, not for an entire outing. Decide how much time to set aside for the visit overall based on your own itinerary.

Boat trips with views of the riverbanks

Boat trips are available nearby that let you take in views of the riverbanks. There are two questions to consider when choosing: Would you like to visit the Two-Colour River as a named destination, or are you mainly interested in seeing the banks from the water? The first question focuses on the destination, the second on what you would like to see during a trip. If you are planning an outing, decide on your priority in advance. Also check whether the boat trip you want is offered at the time of your visit. This makes your choice more specific than a general decision for or against taking a boat trip.

A village market on the Lao side

Another option is a village market on the Lao side, where you can buy souvenirs. Shopping gives your visit a clear purpose; here, buying souvenirs is the main focus, while the boat trips are about views of the riverbanks. If you want to make a market visit part of your plans, check the current visiting options in advance. This lets you include shopping as a separate preference in your itinerary, rather than automatically linking it to the boat trips. The market therefore remains a distinct reason for choosing activities in the area.

Choose a hotel based on your own plans

When looking for hotels in Amphoe Khong Chiam, you can use these interests to help you decide. Ask yourself whether you mainly want to include the boat trip to the Two-Colour River, views of the riverbanks from the water, or souvenir shopping at the village market in your trip. This choice focuses your search on what matters most to you. If several interests matter, rank them according to your plans instead of assuming a set order for the activities.
