Source-derived summary

The Kreung (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.

Love hut tradition

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.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Kreung people” as ethnic group. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2013—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Kreung, people and ethnic can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ethnic group. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q85775000. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
