If you are looking for a quite place to relax, see people and get around, Koh Trong is it. There is a frequently running ferry for 1.000R, bikes are 1 or 2$ per day. The locals are very friendly and a lot of kids will cheer to you. Besides cycling around and sitting on the nicely sandy Mekong shore there... More

Take the ferry across the Mekong and hire a bike for $1 at boat landing. Cycle around, actually I did not find the people to be as friendly as other places in Cambodia. You can stay the night here as there are 2 homestays. Probably not as good as the the island near Kampong Cham.

Not much to do on the island but a beautiful place for a stroll or a bicycle ride. The most amazing thing: no rubbish on the island! Beautiful Mekong views, nice people and lots of ducks, chicken, dogs and cats

A short boat ride from town, you can hire bikes and explore this beautiful, little island in the middle of the Meekong. A peek into Cambodian village life.

East to get to from Kratie town, this island takes you quickly into rural Cambodian life. You can hire bicycles and even take a horse and cart tour of the island with one of the locals. In the dry season the river recedes leaving sandy beaches all around the island and huts provide shade after swimming near the ferry port.

A beautiful sample of rural Cambodian life on an island in the middle of the mighty Mekong river, Koh Trong makes for a relaxing and visually stunning day trip out of Kratie. It is well worth exploring either for a couple of hours or an overnight home-stay. Koh Trong is situated in the Mekong river immediately opposite the main riverfront... More
