Sras Chhuk lotus pond: Kampot's in-town lotus spot

Where it is

The Sras Chhuk lotus pond is mapped in Kampot's old town, not out on the pepper road. It can fit an in-town walk or short ride; check the route from your accommodation rather than assuming every riverside stay is nearby.

When the lotus bloom

Bloom is seasonal. An October visit can show green water and pads rather than open flowers. This guide has no confirmed flowering calendar, so do not plan a special trip around a photo of full blooms.

What to expect

No current ticket price or opening schedule is confirmed in the sources recorded for this guide. Missing published information does not guarantee free entry or unrestricted access. Go in daylight and follow any signs or local instructions.

Treat it as a pond stop rather than a waterfront cafe destination. Cafe facilities are not confirmed; plan refreshments elsewhere in the old town.

The pond inside the grid

Combine the pond with the Kampot Museum listing, south of the market streets, or the Old Bridge at the western edge of the grid. Check museum access separately. The Old Town cafe hop offers nearby coffee options without turning this into a countryside day.

The salt fields toward Kep are evaporation ponds, while Secret Lake is a reservoir outside town. Both are separate transport outings, not alternative names for Sras Chhuk.

In-town businesses for a walking break

Epic Arts Cafe, on Street 730, is an option for breakfast, coffee or cake during an old-town walk. Check its service hours rather than assuming it is an evening stop.

Aroma House, at 33 Street 722, offers a sit-down option for hummus, shawarma and house-made bread. It is an old-town alternative, not a stall inside the night market.

Rikitikitavi, at Street 735 and Street 728, is a waterfront restaurant option for a river-facing break. Check restaurant hours and table availability.

These are options within the town grid, not businesses at the attraction's entrance or a timed walking route. Check the actual street route and current opening status. This editorial shortlist is not a paid-placement ranking.
