Kratié is the capital of Kratié Province, Cambodia.

The city lies on the banks of the Mekong River. This stretch of river is home to a group of rare Irrawaddy dolphins. The dolphins are the town's main tourist attraction. The Mekong Dolphin Conservation project estimates that there are only 170 dolphins left in the upper Cambodian Mekong area.[1]
