Stung Treng Province, Administrative province in northeastern Cambodia
Description
Stung Treng is a province in northeastern Cambodia covering approximately 11,000 square kilometers of land. The territory is crossed by dense forests and multiple rivers that divide and shape the landscape.
History
For centuries, the region was contested between Khmer and Lao rulers, with control shifting back and forth. French colonial authorities established permanent control in 1904 when they incorporated it into their Cambodian protectorate.
Culture
Fishing communities along the riverbanks practice methods passed down through generations, with daily life closely tied to water and seasonal cycles. Local people use the rivers as their main gathering spaces and transportation routes.
Practical
The provincial capital connects to Phnom Penh via National Highway 7, with regular bus services between major towns. Visitors should plan trips during the cooler season and consider that river travel is a practical way to explore the area.
Did you know?
Three major rivers—the Mekong, Sekong, and Sesan—meet in this area, creating an intricate network of waterways. This convergence has made the region a natural hub for local trade and water-based transportation for centuries.
