    Our driver drove here after visiting Banteay Srei. We arrived quite early in the morning which was good as the weather warmed up.

    The hike up was challenging in some areas. However, there were a couple of great spots for photos on the trek up. We did a great job powering up to the river and reached it in around half an hour.

    When we arrived there was only one other group of three besides the two guards. It was great having the place to ourselves.

    In and around the river were stone carvings of a “thousand” lingas, Hindu gods and animals. We were able to walk a little ways upstream before crossing over some rocks. So amazing to see these carvings especially those in the river bed.. Some have been broken up over time and a couple areas were roped off due to collapsing so take care.

    We also descendedto see the small waterfall. From here we walked through a rock crevasse and returned to the hiking path for the return back to our car. By then more and larger groups were heading up.

    Overall completed the round trip in less than two hours. Recommended if you want to see something different than just temples!

    Srah Srang is the name of the lake which I understand is also called the Royal Baths. We went to the terrace to view it. The terrace was built for the Royal barge. Probably takes 15 minutes to view

    The locals go here
    To swim and just take it lightly, the water is as it is but it is good to swim in
    You can lie in a hammock with a cold drink and do nothing at all for a couple of hours

    This river that snakes through Siem Reap is a peaceful place in a bustling city. A great place to wander along and people watch, there are plenty of refreshment and food stalls to enjoy as well as areas to rest. One great thing about this river is the bridges that cross the river. They are only short but picturesque and very photogenic.

    I went over there and I saw many tourists ( foreigners) as well local tourists enjoyed their relaxations with their families, their groups, their friends, and there are many local fruits for sales and its price is reasonable , tasteful, and sellers are so friendly and also water of Western Baray (Lake) is so clear and there are many boats for waiting the tourists to visit the Western Mebon Temple ( this temple in the middle of lake as in the east and there is 1 pagoda with) and I really like visiting this site and I can look the sunset or sunrise, too. This lake is so attractive with best personal regards from James.
