Visit Li Phi Falls, 2 km south of the French railway bridge that connects Don Det and Don Khon.
Pretty extensive menu at good prices. Food is fine.
Good massamam curry and breakfast fare. Reasonable prices.
Rooms with fan or aircon, facing the river or behind. Clean, comfortable, well maintained, good ventilation, attached bathrooms. French and English-speaking owner. Restaurant, free wifi, tours, money changer.
Spacious two in one bungalows with great river view. Due to the thin walls your neighbors noise can be quite disturbing. The owner can exchange Kip and Baht to US dollars.
Like most or all places here, pricier bungalows face the river, while the fan ones are a bit set back. Stable WiFi with decent speeds, free water refills (a rarity on Don Khon), one hammock in front of each bungalow, hot water. The owners can organise onward transport or tours. A small restaurant is on-site, usually open for breakfast and lunch, but not always for dinner.
From Ban Nakasang on the mainland you can reach Don Khon in 25 minutes by longtail boat.
