Hotels with Swimming Pool in Kratie — What to Expect
For a different pace of travel along the Mekong, consider Kratie. This relaxed riverside town is the gateway to seeing the endangered Irrawaddy dolphins, best spotted from the wooden boats at Kampi pool just north of town. Days here are for cycling past French colonial shophouses on the waterfront, visiting the rare turtle conservation at the 100-column pagoda, and watching the sunset over the river from Phnom Sombok temple.
Kratie suits travelers looking for an authentic, slow-paced slice of Cambodia, ideal for solo explorers and couples. Most visitors stay in the compact town center along the riverfront for easy access to cafes and the ferry to Koh Trong island. The town is a stop on the bus route between Phnom Penh and the Lao border, making it a straightforward addition to a wider itinerary.
Accommodation is mostly simple guesthouses and a few boutique hotels, offering great value. On HOTEVI, you can find the Balcony Boutique Hotel, known for its charming river views, or the more basic but well-located U-Hong II Guesthouse. Both put you right in the heart of this gentle, riverside community.
