Stung Treng Riverside Guesthouse

Stung Treng Riverside Guesthouse sits right on the banks of the Mekong in this small northern Cambodian town, offering simple but clean rooms with river views at backpacker-friendly prices. The guesthouse is the social hub for travelers passing through on the way to the Laos border or coming to spot the rare Irrawaddy dolphins at the Mekong flooded forest nearby. The owner is an excellent source of local information, arranging boat trips to see dolphins, visits to the flooded forest, and transport to the Laos border at Trapaeng Kreal. The riverside terrace is a lovely spot for watching the Mekong flow past over a cold beer.
