Leave by jeep on a bumpy road to discover the surrounding waterfalls. Teuk Cha Ong is the most impressive of them. Then direction northwest today, we cross bamboo forests before reaching the village of Voeune Saï, located on the left bank of the Sé San River. The view on the Chinese village on the other side of the river is quite pretty. This place is nearly a Chinese enclave in Cambodian territory as most villagers, who are in their thirties, don't even speak Khmer.

The more north we go, the more beautiful the forest. In some Kroeung villages, depending on the season, we might discover some quite impressive bachelor houses built on very high stilts. Let's notice that, when they have achieved their goal and when the young man has become head of a family, these houses are destroyed before being raised again by younger men the following season. Depending on the time and the state of the dirt road, we will choose a location for a picnic before exploring the nearby villages. Then a little trip to the volcanic lake of Yeark Laom, superb place surrounded with pristine rainforest. We may swim or take a walk around the lake. Dinner and overight at Terres Rouges. (B,L,D)
