evidence: Although Stung Treng is a pretty major transportation hub for people and goods moving between Cambodia and Laos, and to a lesser degree between Cambodia and Vietnam, there isn’t a lot of tourism infrastructure. A medium-sized town by Cambodian standards, Stung Treng lies along the Srepok River where it merges with the Mekong River. Most guesthouses and hotels are along the east-west running riverfront or the north-south road that leads the town market and ends at the riverfront where the ferry pier and bus terminal are located. [...] Beyond Stung Treng, the other nearby attractions include Si Phan Don (4,000 Islands) in Laos and Virachay National Park [This is in Ratanakiri], part of which lies in Stung Treng Province. Some tour operators therefore advertise trips into the park, though these ultimately leave from Ban Lung, Ratanakiri and can also be arranged from the National Park office located there. [...] The capital city of Stung Treng sits 40kms (25 miles) from the Lao border, 281 kms (175 miles) from the Vietnamese border, and 485 kms (300 miles) from the national capital, Phnom Penh. Consequently, Stung Treng is a popular stop-off point on the way to or from the Lao border and Kratie/Phnom Penh to the south and Ban Lung, Ratanakiri to the East. There are many busses and minivans thats service the route daily.
