About Kratie province:
Kratie is a province (its capital sharing the same name) located in the northeast of Cambodia, bordering Stung Treng, Mondulkiri, Kampong Thom, Kampong Cham and Vietnam.
Kratie has several temples built in the 8th century such as Khvas Pi, Pram, and Koh Kring that has perfect deities, ancient halls, Khmer ancient houses, and French-style buildings. The area near Kratie along the Mekong River was one of the most densely populated regions of the pre-Angkorian era of Cambodia.
Lon Nol was the province’s governor in 1945 and during the Vietnam and Cambodian Civil Wars, as well as the subsequent Vietnamese presence against Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, intense fighting took place in Kratie.
Operation Menu (1969-1970 US bombing campaign) targeting Vietnamese logistics in Cambodia and Laos, resulted in heavy bombardment of Kratie. Recovering unexploded ordnance and de-mining has been a major focus since the mid-2000s. In December 1978, Vietnamese forces captured Kratie to fight against Khmer Rouge.
About 140km of Mekong River flows from the north to the south of the province which is home to Irrawaddy dolphins, fish, and birds. The flow of the Mekong varies greatly and there are hundreds of seasonally flooded islands in the river.
The province is mostly covered in dense forest, yet craters from Operation Menu filled with water are still visible in the countryside. Some land in Kratie is used for agriculture, though a smaller percentage than elsewhere in Cambodia.
The province has a monsoonal climate, with a cool season from Nov-Mar, a hot season from Mar-May, and a rainy season from May-Oct. Flooding is still frequent in Kratie and the Mekong can overflow by as much as 4m during the rainy season.
Kratie is known for its attractive riverside scenery, green villages, paddies, and river dolphins. Its fisheries are part of the Upper Mekong River Zone, which is an important support for migratory species and subsistence fishing.
