The Rajabori is a confidential resort made of 10 traditional Khmer wooden houses located North of the island of Koh Trong. We created it to allow a deep immersion in an unspoiled part of old Cambodia for travelers fond of nature and discovery. Access is by boat then cart or moped. The trip to the resort through the island's countryside is beautiful but it takes a little time, so we advise those who are in a hurry or turned off by the various manifestations of nature (insects, frogs, etc.) to stay in Kratie, as clearly, Koh Trong island is not for them! We recommend that they stay at The Bungalow (http://www.rajabori-kratie.com/articles.php?lng=en&pg=57) a very nice small place located on Kratie's riverfront.

For now, The Rajabori has ten rooms spread into ten traditional wooden houses, single or double. To accompany this discovery of traditional Cambodia, our villas and all public spaces have been furnished and decorated in typical Khmer style with what we have collected over the years in all provinces of the country.

Our idea is to recreate an old Cambodian village in the protected environment of the island of Koh Trong. Indeed, everywhere else in Cambodia, traditional wooden houses are being destroyed to make way for ugly concrete blocks that became the new standard of "beauty" in contemporary Khmer society. An entire architectural heritage of incalculable value and is being ruthlessly swept under the carpet...
We wanted to go against this tide by bringing together a number of well trained craftsmen who perpetuate a thousand year old savoir-faire.
This first phase is far from completion, work continues on the ground, but this is certainly not without interest for those who want to discover the habits and customs of the builders of the Cambodian countryside.

For their electricity, our villas use a mixed system made of a generator that operates a portion of the night and solar panels that provide the service during the day and late night. There is only one fan per room, above the bed, so as not to overload the system. This system is in the breaking and sometimes there are failures ... we apologize in advance and wish to warn those who can not do without electricity that it's probably better that they stay in Kratie.
