Yaklom Crater Lake

User's opinion
One of the nicest spot in the area. It doesn't look like it's a crater lake (yeah, volcano crater...). But it's virtually perfectly circular. Of course you can walk around (beware the snakes). You can swim and eat and drink beer and all. An advice is to avoid the place on Sundays. It's OK to see what Cambodians do for fun on the week-end, but the music is too loud and the natural beauty is a bit spoilt.

Your bike can take you through countless villages when you can rest with a beer, watching the local volleyball match.

But be careful with their quality... Mine ended up being pulled by my friend's, using a Krama!!! They're OK with refunds and all, so that's good. Take it easy!

It's a famous spot for "local expats" and tourists, with very good food, helpful staff and that organises tours, motorbike rents and everything.
