Discover Beautiful Koh La Ook: Ratanakiri's Hidden Island

Ratanakiri is a province that embodies the timeless beauty of an angel's bride, forever radiant, and a rose that never loses its enchanting fragrance. 

Nestled in the northeastern part of Cambodia, this stunning province is abundant in natural resources, giving rise to an impressive array of tourist attractions. While many travelers flock to the renowned Yeak Laom Lake, countless other hidden treasures are waiting to be discovered.



Koh La Ook, is an attractive island that graces the banks of the Sesan River as it meanders from Vietnam into Cambodia. Situated in Tabouk Village, Taveng Leu Commune, Taveng District, Ratanakiri Province. This secluded paradise is just a short drive—about 10 kilometers from Ta Veng District to the Tabouk community and 60 kilometers from Banlung Town to the Tabouk community. 


The Brao people, known for their warmth and hospitality, eagerly welcome tourists seeking relaxation and cultural enrichment. 

They offer a unique opportunity to learn about their traditions, culture, and lifestyle, which are intricately connected to the natural resources that surround them. For generations, the Brao have practiced traditional farming, maintaining a harmonious relationship with the land.

A visit to Koh La Ook would not be complete without indulging in authentic Brao cuisine, lovingly prepared by community chefs. These traditional dishes reflect the rich culinary heritage of the Prao people and provide a delightful taste of their culture.


As Koh La Ook continues to rise, it holds great potential as a thriving eco-tourism destination in Ratanakiri Province. This development not only showcases the island's natural beauty but also supports the livelihoods, traditions, and culture of the Indigenous communities, fostering a sustainable future that brings smiles to all who visit.
