I was there in August 2017 and hardly any other person in sight, it was tranquil and silent, an ideal place to relax for a few hours, or if you like, stay one night in one of the Bungalows available. You should definitely take a ride with one of the Bamboo rafts around the lake for 150THB per person, it is worth it. I also drove right around the lake just for photographic purpose. It is only 6 Km from Ban Rak Thai as you drive up.

The place to hang out and chill. All streets lead down to the water. Everyone in town heads here in the cool of the evening to walk, talk, sit and chow down. Nice handicrafts and breathtaking view of the lit up Wat.
