Stung Treng is the capital of the
province of the same name. The town lies 485 km north of
Phnom Penh and 210 km south of Pakse in Laos, it’s only
40 km from the Lao border.
The town is perched on the banks of
the Sekong river, not far from Mekong river. Sights
around the town are few – a couple of rapids and
waterfalls.
You can rent a boat for trips along the
Mekong. Stung Treng’s market is brimming with goods that
come in by road, river, or plane, down from Laos, across
from Vietnam, or up from Phnom Penh. Thai, Chinese and
Vietnamese goods all find their way here.
You can reach Stung Treng by boat
from Phnom Penh from September to January. To save time,
take a fast boat to Kratie and change to a slow boat
from Kratie to Stung Treng, or simply fly from Phompenh.
