Krâchéh

Krâchéh stands beside the Mekong in eastern Cambodia. Upstream the river broadens around islands and passes over rapids, with deep pools between the shallows. These waters shelter the freshwater Irrawaddy dolphin as well as fish and waterbirds. The changing river provides food and a route between settlements, though the rocky reaches north of Krâchéh make navigation difficult when the water is low.
