Tonle Bati is a small lake about 30 km south of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. It is a popular weekend destination for the local population. It is also a popular fishing spot for both tourists and people who live locally.
Close to the lake, there is a temple, Ta Prohm, built in the 12th century by Jayavarman VII. It is located off the highway to Takeo.
20 minutes south of the lake there is another temple called Phnom Chissor. It is situated on a mountain top which requires a visitor to climb 461 steps.
