Shower under waterfalls, swim in clear volcanic lakes or go trekking in the vast Virachey National Park are some of abundant adrenaline activities. Tourism is taking off even as the lowland superior area takes the place at a scaring speed. Ratanakiri is the front-line in the battle for land, and thanks to their tradition of collective ownership, the slash-and-burn minorities are losing out. There, the rubber plantations and cashew-nut farms are quickly replace the forest at an alarming pace. It is expected that someone can wake up and smell the coffee – which is in abundance here before it is too late.
Hardly surprising given that the name means ‘hill of the precious stones’ gem mining is big business in Ratanakiri. In some parts of the province, as well as other semiprecious stones, there is good-quality zircon mined. Since gem scams here are as old as the hills themselves, do not get suckered into a dream deal.
Roads in Ratanakiri may cause travelers a little trouble – source: bucketlistpublications.com
Not being as impressive as the sights, roads in Ratanakiri cause travelers such a little trouble. While during the wet season, roads look like a papaya shake, in the dry season, you will have to do battle with the dust of ‘red-earth Ratanakiri’, which will leave you with orange skin and ginger hair. The month of November, after the rain season and before the dust begins to swirl, is the best time to explore this province.
