Cambodia Place To visited
NORTH EAST

RATTANAKIRI
This province has been left isolated from the rest of the country
for many decades due to poor road conditions and lake of communication, though condition today has improved. The province boasts some of the most beautiful landscapes and is home to several settlements of ethic hill tribes. It has many interesting natural sites that are unique to the territory. There is an incredibly beautiful waterfall, a tranquil volcanic lake and a dense rainforest rich in a variety of flora and fauna. A distinct contrast from 21st Century opulence, this province remains largely uncorrupted as the majority of the population here is made up of ethnic minority groups all living harmoniously to complement the natural ambience that makes the province that makes the province very attractive to urban dwellers; some of these are hidden deep in the jungle making it even more interesting for the tourist since getting there means trekking and this can be done on elephant rides as well.  

MONDULKIRI
The capital of Mondulkiri, one of the largest provinces of 
Cambodia. The hill-top town is surrounded by many scenes of natural beauty-dense forests, lush green hills and beautiful waterfalls. Ten different ethnic hill tribes are found to be settling here; the majority is the Phnong minority peoples. They live off the land, planting rice, fruit trees and a variety of vegetables. Others grow strawberries and maintain small plots of coffee, rubber, cashew and avocado trees. The province is proving to be an ideal eco-tourism destination and satisfies travelers who are out for adventure. Recommended activities are elephant trekking, mountain biking, fishing and swimming. At the moment, the only way to access this town is by road from Kampong Cham, which is now passable all year round.
 
STEUNG TRENG

Steung Treng is a nice little province on the border with Laos. The provincial capital sits on the banks of the Sekong River and nearby Mekong River. A boat trip across the Mekong takes the visitor to the ruins of Thalabarivat, a pre-Angkorian temple made of bricks. This quiet river town is only 40 kilometers away from Laos. The border between Cambodia and Laos is now open and this is the only gateway to get to Laos by boat. The journey to Laos by boat is only possible during the rainy season, when the water level is high enough to allow boats to pass easily through the upper Mekong sector.

KRATIE
Kratie Province, located on east bank of the Mekong River is rich in logging and fishery. This section of the Mekong River that runs through this province brings fertile soil and diversified marine life. Fishes harvested in this part of the river are said to be of high quality and are ideally good for export. The province is also home to an endangered species of freshwater dolphin - the pink dolphins. They live in this part of Mekong River and Cambodia is proud to conserve them.
