Stung Treng (also Stoeng Treng, Khmer: ស្ទឹងត្រែង) is a small town in northeastern Cambodia, and can easily be described with the word "outpost" more than anything else. Many tourists heading to/from Laos pass through here, though few stay long as Banlung and Kratie offer far more excitement, activities and remedies.

The Mekong Discovery Trail takes you into the heart of the Mekong where the beauty of the river and the friendliness of the people create unforgettable river life experiences in northeast Cambodia.
The Mekong Discovery Trail is a network of safe, eco-tourism journeys through some of the most natural and least populated parts of the Mekong.
The free trail guide provides maps, transport and accommodation options. You can travel on a small part of the trail, or all of it. You can travel alone or with a group. There are many options along the 180-km trail, which runs between Kratie and the Cambodian/Laos border. But remember to allow enough time to go with the flow of river life.
Along the trail, you will have the opportunity to see critically endangered Mekong River dolphins, while minimising your impact on them and the habitats they rely on.
By using the trail, you will also be assisting river communities, some of the poorest (but most welcoming) in Cambodia.
Has an ATM which you can use to withdraw US dollars. They can change Cambodian riel, US dollars, and Lao kip, but you'll get a better rate from money changers at the market.
The most conveniently located place in town, being a short walk from the boat dock. Rooms are a bit dilapidated, but inexpensive on the lower end.
Well-tended rooms with fans and other comforts that the cheaper places don't have.
Good rooms including private bath and TV.
Offers good, early morning noodle soup. Dishes are US$1-3. The manager, Mr T, can help organise any transport or tour you might need. They also have rooms from US$6 with large comfortable beds and private bathrooms but no outside window.
Very popular. The portions are unusually large for a restaurant serving Khmer food, and cost around 3,000 riel.
Tourism Training Center
A traditional Khmer house with four nicely decorated rooms equipped with fans and a terrace with a view of the Sekong River. Serves Western and local foods.
By road
Hwy 7 to Kratie is fully paved, but heading north to the border with Laos it's in very bad condition (as of June 2019), alternating between stretches of pavement, stretches of gravel, and stretches…
Since the town is so small, there's no point in using anything other than your own two feet to get you anywhere within the town itself.
