Boeung Tamok or Boeung Kobsrov is the largest natural lake in Phnom Penh, located in the northwest along Win-Win Boulevard and constitutes 3239.7 hectares, covering 2 districts, 6 communes, and 25 villages.
Around the lake, there are about 300 families and 1,000 people, most of whom work on the fields or on the lake, fishing, farming or running home-based businesses. In addition to the benefits to humans, Boeung Tamok is also home to many birds and fish.

In 1980, Boeung Tamok was a lowland where people could farm seasonally. After the construction of Tom Nob Kobsrov Dam Road and a drain from Phnom Penh, as well as the excavation of soil, the lake became deeper.

Although we could identify the lake with our own eyes, there was no official lake boundary until 2016 when the Royal Government-issued sub-decree defining Boeung Tamok Lake with 61 points and a total of 3239.7 hectares, and declaring it to be state public property. As of August 2023, the lake surface has been revised at least ​79 times.

In the second demarcation of the lake boundary, the government released a new coordinate system for the lake boundary and made two major technical mistakes. The first was that the government forgot to cut the area belonging to Mr. Xi Jin Mov that government provided in 2018. The second was that the new coordinate system created an error between the new boundary and the old boundary, which resulted in the loss of 20 hectares of land.
