Mekong towns and highland stays
Accommodation and local visits in Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Kratie, Stung Treng, Ratanakiri and Mondulkiri.
Kampong Cham: riverside stays, Koh Pen and living temples
Kampong Cham makes a rewarding Mekong stop for travellers who want a provincial city with a riverfront, temple visits and an easy transition into the surrounding countryside. Choose carefully between a town hotel and a rural retreat.
Kampong Thom: where to stay for Sambor Prei Kuk and provincial life
Kampong Thom is a useful overnight stop between Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, but its strongest reason to stay is the chance to visit Sambor Prei Kuk without squeezing the site into a long transfer day.
Kratie: town rooms, Koh Trong retreats and the Mekong dolphins
Kratie offers three distinct ways to stay by the Mekong: a convenient room in town, a river-island retreat on Koh Trong, or a separate countryside stop at Chhlong. The best choice depends on how often you want to move.
Stung Treng: where to stay for the Mekong and flooded forest
Stung Treng deserves consideration as a river destination as well as a connection on a journey through northeastern Cambodia. The crucial planning choice is between a town base and accommodation chosen for its river setting.
Banlung: lakeside lodging and an introduction to Ratanakiri
Banlung is the practical base for Ratanakiri’s lakes, waterfalls and guided journeys into the northeast. Stay long enough to recover from the approach and choose accommodation according to the trips you actually plan to make.
Sen Monorom: hill stays, waterfalls and responsible elephant visits
Sen Monorom is the base for Mondulkiri’s upland landscapes. Its accommodation ranges from simple bungalows to villa resorts, and the most useful choice is often about access, room comfort and the pace of your excursions.
