Kratie is in the northeast of Cambodia and is frequented by tourists hoping to spot one of the critically endangered Irrawaddy Dolphins that live in the Mekong River. Kratie is a relatively remote province that is characterized by lush riverside scenery and rural atmosphere. Hotel accommodation is plentiful and can range from low-cost fan-cooled rooms to plush living in ex-colonial grandeur.
