Kratie
A pretty province spanning the Mekong, much of Kratie’s population makes its living from the mother river’s waters. Beyond the river it’s a remote and wild land that see few outsiders. This is a place we, as a professional Cambodia tour operater suggest for our guests. Most visitors are drawn to the rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins found 15km north of the provincial capital. The town of Kratie is a little charmer and makes a good base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. You can feel the Koh Trong island, and the floating village, and see whether you are lucky enoug to see the Mekong mud turtles. In a country famous for Buddhism and temples, how can it be possible not to see a temple here? Wat Roka Kandal is a beautiful temple that won’t let you down. What’s more, Kratie is a thriving travel hub and the natural place to break the journey when having your Cambodia tours overland between Phnom Penh and Champasak in southern Laos. It is the place to see the rare Irrawaddy dolphins, which live in the Mekong River in ever-diminishing numbers. A lively riverside town, Kratie has an expansive riverfront and some of the best Meknong sunsets in Cambodia. There is a rich legacy of French-era architecture, as it was spared the war-time bombing that destroyed so many other provincial centres. It was one of the first towns to be “liberated” by the Khmer Rouge in the summer of 1970. In a word, this is a place where you can get wonderful memory about Cambodia in this Cambodia tours.
