Kratié is the capital of Kratié Province on the eastern part of Cambodia. The city of about 13,000 people (2012 estimate) is located on the banks of the Mekong River.
The town of Kratié is composed of a cluster of old French colonial buildings surrounded by the local houses. The Mekong around town is home to Irrawaddy dolphins that have made Kratié a tourist destination. Although Kratié is still off the beaten track, it is frequented largely by backpackers, and the town has risen the the need by providing budget accommodation.
