Boen Yeak Laom lake

I had 3 more days left which I spend exploring the area on a scooter, this was the first time I was the driver and not the passenger and I can’t believe I never tried this before as it gives you the freedom to see a lot more in less time than on a bike. Every day I went to the Boen Yeak Laom a clear blue crater lake for a swim and cooling down. This lake is one of the few natural, un spoiled lakes in Cambodia surrounded by dark-green jungle so there are no buildings around the lake or restaurants to spoil the view. It is a sacred place for the locals who have a lot of fun jumping into the lake (fully dressed)  laugh and scream while they push each other into the water. They are very friendly and like to talk to you while sitting at the wooden stairs to enter the water.
