Combine a visit of Kamping Pouy Basin with the Temple Phnom Banan as it is on the way!

 

The trip from Battambang in Cambodia to Kamping Pouy itself is an attraction as you will pass beautiful countryside.  The water reservoir was built by the Khmer Rouge in one of their grander schemes and ten-thousand of people died during its construction.

(The Kamping Pouy Water Reservoir is now a recreation site for the locals)

 

Nowadays the Kamping Pouy water reservoir is a very popular picnic spot for locals at the weekend. There are a number of food and drink stalls overlooking the lake where you can relax in a hammock.

 

It is also  possible to charter a boat to go out on the lake and maybe visit some of the people who live in stilt houses.
