Stung Treng Holidays
Stung Treng is the last major town before the Laos border (with Si Phan Don – or "4000 Islands" – lying just 50 kilometres away). It's simply a place at which to make a brief stopover and has nothing of any real interest to offer, except perhaps that it serves as a way to get to Ratanakiri.

My suggestion
Don't spend any time here: it's quite a shabby, nondescript place. You'll need to pass through it on the way to Ratanakiri, but you would certainly never consider spending part of your holidays in Cambodia here.
