Attraction Information
Look at the history:
Kamping Puoy Lake (or Dam or Basin whatever you call it), in brief, it was dug by Khmer people during Khmer Rough Regime or Pol Pot Regime (1975-1979). It’s used to store water for the farmers around the that area in Battambang and even Banteay MeanChey Province as when needed.
It’s still a sad history for some Cambodian people who dropped their sweats and tears under the burning heat just to dig this out for agricultural purpose but I’ll put that aside for now.
Popularity: Let’s learn why it became a popular for the locals.
With plenty of water, the Lake are filled with beautiful water plants like lotus and waterlily. The water is extremely important for people around the area to do the rice farming.
Along the side of lake, there are dams built to control the water but the main one is huge which help people the community to do some small business.
A lot of cottages were built as eating places and relaxing place. So people can sit down and enjoy their food and the beauty of the lake.
