Pol Pot Baray

A lake dug by hand

What we say:

Rather than being a depressing token of Pol Pot's brutality, the locals we encountered considered this giant artificial lake to be a great accomplishment of the Khmer people.

In addition to being picturesque, the lake is vital to the locals for fishing, bathing, rice production and as a general source of water. The only sounds you'll hear in such a rural setting are the songs of exotic birds; ironic that something with such a brutal history behind it can be so beautiful.
