Kratie Province is located to the east of Cambodia; bordered to the north by Stung Treng, to the east by Mondulkiri to the south by Kampong Cham and the to west by Kampong Thom. The Mekong River travels its way through the middle of the province. Most of the population of Kratie inhabits along the river banks. It is mostly wild forests beyond the river basin.

Kratie is known to the travellers as the home to the Irrawaddy freshwater dolphin. Besides, Kraties also offers nice sunset river cruise, nice countryside biking or motorcycling. Once the infrastructure gets better, Kratie could be the place for eco tourism and adveture tours. There are very few travellers in the area by far due to lack of facilities.

Kratie Town which is the provincial capital is a nice sleepy town, lying along the Mekong River and is the transit place for the adventure travellers on their route to and from Mondulkiri or Ratanakiri. The rare Irrawaddy Dolphin can be seen 15km north of the town. You can travel to this area by a nice countryside road trip or river cruise. Kratie Town is 350km from Phnom Penh, 220 km from Senorom (Mondukiri) and 290 km from Banlung (Ratanakiri).
