Mekong Bird Resort is a 3-star establishment located in Thmey village, Stung Treng, on the banks of the Mekong River, at the gateway to the region of 4,000 islands. The bungalows are positioned directly along the riverbank, offering views of the water from the rooms. The hotel positions itself as a small riverside resort, suited to travelers in transit or wishing to stay in this city in northeast Cambodge.

Why stay here

We selected this property for its direct location on the Mekong and the access it provides to river excursions from Stung Treng: cruises, kayaking in the river channels, and Irrawaddy dolphin watching on Koh Treng island during the dry season. We recommend it primarily to travelers on an itinerary seeking a one to two-night stop in this region, with the possibility of organizing water activities on-site. The bungalow configuration, including family units (up to 4 adults), also makes it suitable for families.

Travelers mention the quality of breakfast and the evening cruise experience—dinner on a sandy beach at sunset—as highlights of their stay. Several reviews note, however, maintenance issues with the bungalows and walkways, sometimes insufficient cleanliness of bedding, and an uncommunicative front desk service, particularly in English. These elements should be considered before booking, especially for stays of more than one night.

Atmosphere

The atmosphere is that of a small riverside resort in a natural and relatively isolated setting. The bungalows, built on stilts or directly overlooking the Mekong, are surrounded by vegetation. The establishment is quiet except for the passage of motorboats, which can be noticeable in the early morning and evening from the rooms. Note: Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant area, not in the bungalows.

Rooms

Accommodation is offered in the form of individual or family bungalows, with views of the Mekong from the rooms. Standard bungalows accommodate up to 3 adults and can be configured as single, double, twin, or triple beds. Family bungalows accommodate up to 4 adults and 2 children, in twin, triple, or quadruple configuration. An additional bed or mattress is available for a supplement (USD 15/night).

Location and access

The hotel is located in Thmey village, Stung Treng, in northeast Cambodge. From Siem Reap or Phnom Penh airports, allow approximately 4 to 5 hours by road; private taxis and minibuses are the most practical options. For local travel, tuk-tuks are available outside the property—fares should be negotiated before departure.

Nearby

Stung Treng's central market, accessible by tuk-tuk in about ten minutes, houses general shops, a pharmacy, and a currency exchange. Canadia Bank has ATMs that accept international cards. Koh Treng island, the departure point for Irrawaddy dolphin watching, is accessible from the river—the dry season (November to April) is the most favorable period for this excursion. A night market in the city center allows you to taste local specialties.
