This province is
chock full of natural beauty, with thickly forested mountains,
powerful waterfalls and the lush green rolling hills of the
western side. Add to that the communities of hill tribe people
who are not affected by mass-tourism, as they are in neighboring
Thailand, and you have an area that is very attractive to the
adventure traveler. The town of Sen Monorom is the best base
camp for travelers who want to explore the surrounding areas.
A quiet but beautiful
town nestled into the hills; it has a lot of potential to develop
into a center for non-intrusive eco-tourism. At present, it’s
very undeveloped, which gives you a feeling of going somewhere
off the beaten tourist trail. Also interesting is the variety
of languages being used: Khmer, hill tribe languages, Vietnamese
and Laos
