The Kreung (Central Khmer: គ្រឹង; Krung) are an ethnic group that live in Cambodia, mainly in Ratanakiri Province, and relatively small number in Stung Treng, Mondolkiri Province.There are 22,385 Kreung people in Cambodia as of 2013.[1]
This ethnic group has had a certain popularity because they have a certain originality in the relationships between men and women. Parents build a hut for their 13 to 15-year-old children to discover love and sexuality. Children can stay in this house until their twenties before choosing the person of their heart. It is a practice that is developing less.[2]
