Wild meats (boars, deer and forest chicken mainly) are available at a number of the khmer restaurants on the riverside promenade as you go toward the bridge to the Lao border.

Yes you can buy the last of a number of endangered species to eat in Stung Treng.

Best thing about Stung Treng is the waterways in four different directions.
Rent a boat, or hop on a commuter service, at the main landing.

- Laos
The region just north of Stung Treng is famous for its' Mekong Islands. Visa required though, so the trip involves some planning, not sure you can get a visa a the (land) border.

-Siem Reap
Siem reap is just 4-5 hours away by bus. Makes a nice weekend break and chance to stock on Western stuff. Going to Phnom Penh will about twice that by bus.

-Kratie
Sleepy town about 120 km from Stung Treng. Nice for a one time visit.

-Ratanakiri
Yeak Loam lake and some waterfalls. Nice weekend break, just 130 km away, road is OK.

-Mondulkiri
More waterfalls and great scenery but 250 km away. Combi trip with Ratanakiri is probably convenient.
