Chhlong
ឆ្លូង
A Mekong town south of Kratie with many colonial-era French houses and stilt wooden houses. It is quiet and rarely visited by tourists.
Chhlong lies on the east bank of the Mekong, about 40 km south of Kratie. During the colonial period, it was a hub for rubber and timber. Today, it still preserves many French colonial houses, an old market, and rows of traditional Khmer wooden houses, some of which have been converted into boutique hotels. The town moves at a slow pace, and half a day is enough for strolling and taking photos. Lunch can be had at a riverside restaurant. You can make a round trip from Kratie by hired car or motorbike taxi, or stop here on the way from Phnom Penh to Kratie.
