A colonial-style villa on the riverbanks of The Mekong River, Le Relais De Chhjong is a great option when visiting this remote part of northeast Cambodia.
Chhlong is a midway stopover point between Phnom Penh (or Siem Reap) and Mondulkiri province, but staying here will allow you to experience a slice of rural Cambodian life in comfort.
Le Relais De Chhlong is one of the best options in this remote region and is highly recommended as a comfortable, atmospheric base when exploring rural Cambodia.
Ideal for travellers seeking a comfortable base in remote Cambodia.
Couples and families alike will appreciate the characterful rooms, laid-back pace and proximity to Kratie’s dolphin-watching excursions. It’s a restful, well-connected spot for those venturing off the usual route. There are cycles available to rent, and a bike ride is a great way to spend a few hours exploring the sleepy market town.
The Rooms
There are just ten rooms, each with spacious interiors and period features that reflect the villa’s French colonial origins. Rooms vary slightly in layout and outlook—some face the gardens, others overlook the river—but all offer a sense of calm and seclusion. For families, the two-bedroom suite is an excellent choice, with plenty of space to spread out.
What You’ll Find:
- Restored French colonial villa from 1916
- Easy access to Irrawaddy dolphin boat trips near Kratie
- Pool, restaurant and cocktail bar
Why You'll Love It:
- Step back in time with a stay in a beautifully restored historic villa
- Unwind by the Mekong after days exploring Cambodia’s northeast
- Combine comfort and adventure in one of the country’s lesser-visited regions

In Our Travellers’ Words
Cambodian dream
Travelling with two children under 10, spending time at the temples and then on the beach. Experience Travel really listen to what you want as a family and do their very best to organise an itinerary that works. This is the second holiday we have booked with them and each one was great.
Cultural Discovery from Vietnam to Cambodia
We had a fantastic experience from booking the trip to enjoying it when the time came. I was very excited for our children to learn about different cultures, foods and see how people live in different countries. Our trip ticked every box and more and would highly recommend traveling from Vietnam to Cambodia to anyone that loves to explore.
Unforgettable Vietnam Memories
From the moment we landed in Vietnam to the second we left, we made magical family memories. We left some of our hearts in Vietnam. The people, the culture and the experiences ETG pulled together made our whole experience unforgettable. They took care of everything. Listened to what we like in a holiday, encouraged us to think broadly, and surpassed all expectations with their local relationships and ensured we were looked after.
