Kratie, pronounced kra-cheh, is one of four provinces in northeastern Cambodia. Located far enough away from popular destinations to attract the crowds, due to its relatively remote location, it is an interesting spot if you are looking for some tranquility. Kratie is brimming with delightful French colonial buildings as it avoided damage during the country’s civil war.
With some of the most glorious sunsets in Cambodia, Kratie is best known for what can be found within the mighty Mekong River that it is situated along: rare freshwater Irrawaddy dolphins. These dolphins are on the critically endangered list due to increasing pollution and disease, however conservation efforts are underway to ensure their protection at both national and international levels.
