 About Raranakiri:
Ethnic minorities, elephants, waterfalls and jungle combine to make this one of the most popular provinces in the northeast of Cambodia. Many of the inhabitants come from minority groups known as Khmer Leu (Upper Khmer), including Kreung, Tompuon and Jarai. These tribes each have their own distinct language and customs, although today they dress as most other poor Cambodians and lack the colourful clothing seen in Thailand and Vietnm. This could be a blessing in disguise, as it may spare the tourist onslaught seen in northern Thailand. There is also a large Lao population through out the province and multiple languages will be heard in village such as Voen Sai.
