Sights

Boeng Yeak Lom
(admission US$1) Boeng Yeak Lom is one of the most serene and sublimely beautiful sites in
Cambodia. This clear blue crater lake, surrounded by dark-green jungle, is sacred to the
indigenous Tompuon peoples. It's a great place to take a dip, although Cambodians jump
in fully clothed. A small Cultural & Environmental Centre has a modest display on ethnic
minorities in the province and hires out life jackets for the young'uns.
To get to Boeng Yeak Lom from Ban Lung head east towards Vietnam for 3km, turn
right at the minorities statue and proceed 2km or so. Motos charge US$3 return (more if
you make them wait), while remorques charge up to US$10 return.

LAKE

Waterfalls
Tucked amid the sprawling cashew and rubber plantations just west of Ban Lung are three
waterfalls worth visiting: Chaa Ong (admission 2000r) , Ka Tieng (admission 2000r) and Kinchaan
