Boeng Kak Lake

Backpackers By The Lake

Street 90
Off Monivong Boulevard past the Railway Station
Phnom Penh, 12302

Phone: +855 23 72 3949

This large lake could be an exquisite place to escape the dust and heat of the city if it were not for the fact that it is rather polluted. As it is, Boeng Kak with its cafes and guesthouses has become a rallying point for backpackers in search of a USD2 room, cheap beer and a hammock to drink it in. Street 90 to the south of the New Mosque has a number of pleasant bars with bamboo pavilions over the water from which you can watch the sun set over Wat Neak Kavaan on the other side of the lake.
