A popular way to travel to Banlung involved taking a ferry first to Stung Treng (or Kratie). As of June 2009 these ferries were not running.
Take a boat up the Mekong river to Stung Treng, followed by a car journey to Banlung the next day. After taking a boat, taxi or bus to Stung Treng, take a shared taxi or a van to Banlung. Shared taxi fares are negotiated, but generally much more expensive. The more people taking the taxi, the less money each of you will have to shell out, so taking one of these may only be the best option if you're in a group of three or four.
A ferry from Kratie to Stung Treng costs approximately US$7 and should take about five hours.
