Bökönbai (Kyrgyz: Бөкөнбай, Russian: Боконбаево, romanized: Bokonbayevo) is a village in the Issyk-Kul Region of Kyrgyzstan. The village is named in honor of the well-known poet and playwright Joomart Bökönbayev. ^[2] It is the seat of the Tong District and of the Kün-Chygysh village community.^[3] It was established as Kol'tsovka village in 1912. ^[4] With a population of 14,267 (2021),^[5] it is the largest village on the south shore of lake Issyk Kul. Its industry declined after the collapse of the USSR. It is now a base for tourism into the mountains to the south. There are demonstrations of falconry with eagles. The road to the west to Balykchy goes through dry and less-attractive country.
