Kratie Province


Kratie is situated along the east Mekong riverbank. It is around 340km form Phnom Penh on the National Road 7, and 220km on the waterway. Kratie is one of the four provinces in northeastern Cambodia, and although it is relatively remote and not heavily touristed, traveling here won't earn you points for being a pioneer. There's no large scale tourism, but plenty of backpackers pour through here during the peak season. The town has developed to meet this demand, with very good budget accommodation that is well known in backpacking circles.
