Kratie attractions

This small town was once relatively remote but became known for the Mekong River dolphins, a species now almost extinct. The dolphins are the reason many visitors come here. Dolphin watching is a very popular activity and brings attention to the area’s rare wildlife. The best place to see them is at Kampi village, about 15 km north of town. At Kampi you can watch the dolphins in the river, and you may see them frolicking in the late afternoon, sometimes appearing in large groups. It is estimated that fewer than 80 of these dolphins remain, so sightings are notable and carry a sense of rarity. The experience centres on observing these animals in their natural river environment and appreciating their fragile status.
