Stung Treng is a northern region of Cambodia. It used to be known as Xieng Teng and belonged to the vast Khmer Empire, the Lao kingdom of Lan Xang, and then the Lao kingdom of Champassack. It was once more given to Cambodia during French Indochina.
Because the Lao border is approximately 50 kilometers away, the provincial capital, also known as Stung Treng, is a significant trade hub with a few hints of Lao influence. It's a cordial, calm country town arranged on the conjunction of the San Stream and the Mekong Waterway. It actually stands on the San River, with the Mekong River entering the picture on the town's northeastern edge.
Depending on who you talk to, the San River goes by three different names. Because the San and Kong rivers merge about 10 kilometers northeast of Stung Treng town, people aren't sure which name the river should have. As a result, some people call it the Kong River. Some people refer to it as the Sekong River, which is the name of both of these rivers combined. It's another one of Cambodia's lovely river towns, no matter what name the fiver next to the town has. If you're traveling the Northeast River Scene from here to Laos, this is a nice spot to relax and unwind.
A nice stretch of paved road runs from Stung Treng to the San River. It's the focal point of associating (as in most Cambodian stream towns) in the late evening and afternoon hours as local people ride all over the stretch partaking in the view and one another. Drink and dessert stands open earlier to accommodate the daily partygoers. It's a decent spot for a walk or run any time as the stream street transforms into a charming country street that prompts the air terminal 4 km north of town.
Trade between Cambodia and Laos is handled in the river port area directly in front of the small city park, which is fairly busy. At this pier, there is also a ferry across the San River to the point where National Highway No. 7 continues north to the Laotian border. The admission is 300 riel for each head. We went for a ride on this stretch (2,000 riel for a big bike on the ferry), but other than some remnants of the road that was the target of carpet bombing during the Vietnam War (the road was recently renovated and is now one of the best in the country), there is not much to see along the way. Because the road winds its way eastward, it does not provide the expected views of the Mekong River. The few locals we encountered on the way were truly taken aback to see people like us who would want to live there.

The endangered freshwater dolphin can be seen in 10 deep-water natural pools along a 190-kilometer stretch of the Mekong River, mostly between the tranquil provincial capitals of Kratie and Stung Treng, thanks to the Mekong River Discovery Trail Project.
