Located 18 km to the northeast of Siem Reap City and 2 km southwest of Wat Kbal Chen, Lake Bangkong is an ancient pond that features an ancient stone boundary marker. The boundary marker is fragmented, but it can be assumed to have once depicted a seated Buddha on each of its four sides.
The lake is also home to an annual traditional community fishing event at the end of harvest season usually in February.
