Very
much
worth
visiting
the
lake
and
surrounding
country
side.
Do
take
a
boat
tour
on
the
lake
if
you
have
the
time.
It
is
wonderful,
the
atmosphere,
the
'one
legged'
fishermen,
little
children
in
boats,
it's
like
riding
a
bike
for
them,
the
swimming
gardens,
the
homes
on
the
lake
and
to
top
it
all
of,
a
small
excavator
sitting
on
a
floating
island
in
the
middle
of
the
lake.
All
very
interesting
to
take
in
and
enjoy
during
a
boat
trip
with
breaks
for
visiting
with
a
local
family
and
another
for
lunch.
Theirs
is
a
hard
life,
but
for
tourists
it's
all
so
tranquil
and
enjoyable.
We
take
toy
cars,
calenders
and
postcards
with
sights
from
home
as
little
gifts
for
locals
when
we
visit
or
for
instance,
when
they
graciously
let
us
use
their
toilet
at
the
side
of
the
road,
when
no
restaurants
are
around.
Not
so
fond
of
the
toilet
situation
on
the
lake,
as
the
outhouse
'droppings'
went
straight
into
the
lake
and
some
(visiting)
people
discarded
their
(western)
hygiene
products
which
floated
around
in
the
enclosed
outhouse
space.
Quite
thoughtless
and
disgusting.
I
will
never
forget
our
visit,
as
we
were
at
this
lake
during
the
2004
Tsunami
and,
even
though
we
were
hundreds
of
miles
away
from
the
epicenter,
the
ground
was
shaking,
everone
was
panicking
and
tunning
out
of
buildings,
our
SUV
was
moving
forward
and
backwards
several
feet
on
its
own,
the
water
in
our
guest
houses
pond
was
sloshing
back
and
forth
and
the
noise
sounded
like
a
helicopter
was
landing
on
the
roof
or
a
freight
train
going
by.
Never
want
to
experience
anything
like
it
again.
