Cucumber Island









Every year when the Mekong River starts to recede, sandbars are everywhere and the banks of the river turn into a playground. 
There is one large sandbank directly across the peninsula that you can go to via boat. It is called Cucumber Island. The people who live in the village grow cucumbers all along the riverbank. Beer shacks sprout up and you just hang out, play patanque, drink beer and eat cucumber salad. It is one of the best ways to spend a Sunday afternoon.
