We took the 7am Sorya Bus to the Kratie (USD8/person). The bus we sat is the bus to Laos as the bus will stop at the Kratie too. The duration of this journey took 6 hours as we reached Kratie around 1pm. After get off the bus, we walked to the booked guesthouse which is Star Backpacker Guesthouse. This guesthouse is just next road to the Sorya Bus office. Downstair of the guesthouse is the Tokae restaurant. Both guesthouse and restaurant is owned by a European man. We had lunch there too.
