Kampi. The typical price is US$40 to US$60 per day, including all meals and tours. Tours

Sorya Kayaking Adventures
( 090 241148; www.soryakayaking.com ; Rue Preah Suramarit) Run by a socially conscious
American woman, Sorya has a fleet of eight kayaks and runs half-day and multiday trips
(with homestay accommodation) on the Mekong north of Kratie, around Koh Trong, or
south of Kratie on the Te River, which has several Vietnamese floating villages. This is a
great way to get close to the dolphins too.
