Kratie

Bus

The roads to Kratie from Stung Treng in the north and Kampong Cham are both paved and fairly smooth. Because of the quality of roads through the region, boats no longer make the journey regularly, and you'd have to arrange a private (and very expensive) trip if you plan to travel from city-to-city via the Mekong in Cambodia's northeast.

Nowadays, buses, taxis, and pickup trucks are the main form of transport, and below we've listed the bus prices from a few common destinations to Kratie. The bus stop is located in the centre of town, next to the river's main dock. Remember, everything's slightly cheaper in the rainy season, and taxis and pickup rides are negotiable, while bus trips are fixed-price.
