Kratie (Cambodia)

Kratie is a Mekong River cruise port and town in Cambodia best-known for its wildlife viewing opportunities (specifically the Mekong Irrawaddy dolphins / rare freshwater mammal species) and French colonial era architecture.

As cruise port, Kratie is usually visited on itineraries including Cambodia's capital city Phnom Penh. Irrawaddy dolphins can be seen near the small village Kampi (approx 1 km north of Kratie). The town itself is located between Phnom Penh and the vast jungles of the Cambodian provinces Mondulkiri and Ratanakiri. The other famous tourist attraction is Kampi Rapids - a scenic picnic area featuring several fast-running water currents.
