The Krung people live with other Hill-tribe Peoples in the rain forest of North Cambodia on the Laos and Vietnam border. They still live almost totally from the forest. They live in small villages located in the highlands. Kinship and religious ties are strong among them. Elders are well respected in their community. They are known for their elaborate spirit rituals which are held to avoid misfortune. There are seers among the women who can heal people using dreams. The young people leave their parents when they are twelve or thirteen and live in their own huts with friends. There they find their future partners.
