Nestled quietly on the mighty Mekong River, directly opposite Kratie town, Koh Trong is a floating island that offers an authentic escape into rural Cambodian life.

On a recent journey, I stayed at the Koh Trong Tourism Homestay I—a traditional stilt wooden house with warm hospitality and a peaceful atmosphere. This homestay reminded me how life can be beautifully simple, yet incredibly rich in culture.
Getting Around
Koh Trong is best explored by bicycle or motorbike. The ring road loops around the island and gives a full taste of village life—locals farming, children playing, and seasonal flowers blooming.
What You’ll See & Experience
- Floating Sandbanks during dry season that stretch across the river like golden waves.
- Friendly local fishermen using traditional techniques.
- Eco-agriculture: From pomelo trees to bright yellow trumpet flowers, nature flourishes here.
- A variety of local homestays, each offering a true Khmer experience.
Why Stay Here?
Staying in a homestay like this one allows you to wake up to the sounds of birdsong, enjoy fresh local food, and savor slow moments under mosquito nets in a spacious wooden home.
