What is Ratanakiri? Yeah, Ratankiri is one of the richest natural resource provinces, which locates in Northeast direction of Cambodia. Its long distance, 588 km from Phnom Penh city, we need to spend on the car nearly twelve hours. Even though, it takes long hours but the beautiful landscapes entertain us to reduce bored feeling, how cool is it ;-D. Of course, we enable to travel by airplanes, I am not sure how much do we spend per tickets.

This time I appreciate to share my experience.
On 04, 05, 06, 07 Jan 2008 were my holiday, which I travelled to Ratanakiri province, organized by students association of RULE, Royal University of Law and Economics. Oh la la……, twelve hours was on the car, my first long trip in Cambodia.
On the second day, I travelled to two places in the morning are Kachay and Katieng waterfall. These two places are exact natural places, not artificial, which round by big rich green forest. Its water is so cold and make sound…Dhom….Dhom…Dhom. In the afternoon, students take a trip to Yak Lorm lake is natural lake. Yak Lorm was a volcano, now is a die volcano become a big deep lake. No one know how deep is it ?-). You know, the attractive view formulate the fresh atmosphere, mean cool fresh air. Actually, if I take a deep breath it makes my feeling delightful.

After that, we went to ethnical village that prepares for watching of traditional dancing of Pnong, kouy ethics. Its dancing caught my eye to pay attention on the role of dancing. Nice-looking of traditional clothes of ethnic people, eye catching……
