Rattanakiri
Ratanakiri is a province in Northeastern Cambodia. The word "Ratanakiri" is a derivative of two Cambodian words, combined to mean "place of gems and mountains." It’s capital, Banlung, is located in the central highlands of the province, approximately 365 miles (586 kilometers) from Phnom Penh. Lomphat, a small town in the southern plains, is the former capital of Ratanakiri. The province is a popular destination for thousands of tourist every year. Ecotourism abounds, due to lush wildlife and remote tribal villages. Most of the inhabitants of Ratanakiri are indigenous minorities. Ethnic Cambodians make up only 10-20% of the total population.
	The province is subdivided into 9 districts : Andoung Meas, Ban Lung, Bar Kaev, Koun Mom, Lumphat, Ou Chum,Ou Ya Dav, Ta Veaeng,Veun Sai. There’s not a whole lot written about Ratanakiri province because not a whole lot of people have been there. Located in Cambodia’s far northeastern corner some 630 kilometers from Phnom Penh, it is bordered by Laos to the north and Vietnam to the east. Minority hill tribes - generically referred to as Khmer Leou, meaning ‘highlander’ - account for about 80% of the province's 70,000 or so inhabitants. Depending on who you talk to or what you read there are anywhere from seven to twenty separate minority groups. (source:Tales of Asia )
