Life in Stung Treng
Re: Life in Stung Treng
Thank you... I think I'll be fine with very simple fare, not a real gourmand of the exotic. If I'm feeling adventuresome, might try some of the surfing...SternAAlbifrons wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 9:21 amYes you can buy the last of a number of endangered species to eat in Stung Treng.Jerry Atrick wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 8:44 am I lived in Stung Treng on and off for over a year. Nice place.
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.
Up to you tcw57.
But don't get caught by the cops, wildlife alliance (or me)

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.
' Might be a bit rough right now - call it surfing.
Re: Life in Stung Treng
Appreciate the suggestions. Will probably need some get away time every now and then and this looks like a good list to begin with.Kammekor wrote: ↑Sun Jul 07, 2019 4:06 pm For short trips, you have a lot of options not too far away:
- 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.
Re: Life in Stung Treng
Kratie good for few night nice Riverside walk in mornings and evenings plus you can take a trip to see the Mekong dolphins
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.
